There are always two sides to a story, two polar ends of every experience: joy and pain, presence and absence, the visible and the hidden. This installation explores that tension, drawing from the philosophy of Yin and Yang: opposing forces that are deeply connected and constantly shifting. Black and white are used not just as contrasts, but as complements, each space intercepting the other, in search of balance.
For the artist, this past year embodied both extremes. There was the dream of creating full-time and traveling for art, but also moments of betrayal, loss, and grief. The work reflects a search for balance, shaped by both joy and hardship. The two ornate frames face each other, linked by a sculptural path. Every angle offers a new perspective. It’s not just about what you see, but what you carry.
