Take Two

To visually explore the philosophy of YinYang.

In Chinese philosophy there are two fundamental principles, one negative, dark, passive, cold, wet, and feminine (yin) and the other (yang) positive, bright, active, dry, hot and masculine. The interactions and balance of these forces in people and nature influence their behavior and fate.

Three core themes form the basis of this philosophy; yinyang is the coherent fabric of nature and mind which is exhibited in all existence; it is the interaction between the waxing and waning of the cosmic and human realms; and it is a process of harmonization ensuring a constant, dynamic balance of all things.
