Dichotomy

This abstract composition explores the silent tension between opposing states of existence: day and night, light and dark, movement and stillness, hope and uncertainty. This echoes ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang.

The upper space is alive with shifting colours and restless energy, evoking the unpredictability of thought, memory, and becoming. Below, darkness settles into a deep, almost cosmic stillness, suggesting the weight of time, silence, and the unknown.

A thin red horizon cuts across the canvas like a boundary that cannot be crossed without consequence. It is both a division and a connection, marking the fragile threshold where transformation occurs. Nearby, a solitary white orb hovers, neither triumphant nor defeated, reminding us that meaning often resides not in resolution, but in balance.

This painting does not ask the viewer to choose a side. It is an invitation for reflection on the truth that life is lived perpetually between opposites and that wisdom lies in learning to stand within that divide.
