Light and Darkness. One cannot exist without the other. A world where the opposite becomes complementary and necessary.
A reference to Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy where Inferno represents – nothingness, disorder, chaos, death, black, static, closed and Paradise represents – full, order, white, life, dynamic open.
Entering the darkness “Hell” of the abyss of moral and intellectual perdition to ascend to “Paradise” where ‘love moves the stars’.
Opposites are spoken of in ancient Chinese philosophy where Yin and Yang are a symbol of harmony and balance.
Yin-black and yang-white are also two equal halves. In each half, the potential of the respective opposite is present.
