About the artwork

Before the Five Elements Theory was put into practice and according to Taoist beliefs, there were previously only two colours representing opposing, yet complementary principles of black and white, yin-yang. This eternal theory of balancing colour, balancing energies and even balancing space is the artist's medium of communication in this work, where he alludes to an alter ego that forms one’s equal and opposite persona - a soul that complement your own and substantiates your presence.
