The relationship between yin and yang is often described in terms of sunlight playing over a mountain and in the valley. As the sun moves across the sky, yin and yang gradually trade places with each other, revealing what was obscured and obscuring what was revealed. Dichotomy is the essence of everything in this world. The existence of both delight and sadness will sometimes cause conflicts in our lives. Yet, yin and yang ironically make one's life well balanced. Based on the concept of balancing dichotomy, this exhibition, Yin Yang portrays human life consisting of the harmony that is both happiness and longing.
