In life, beauty masks reality. Often we forget the way nature is made of two distinct forms to seek balance.
Not all stones are rough, not all leaves are green. The moon takes over the sun as darkness swallows the light.
We want to embrace the duality, the true nature of life, by transforming its character into inanimate objects and materials. Because there are two sides to every story: the black and the white. The ones that make a life, alive.
