RE: Black And White Photography by @redpalestino

I just read this post (sorry for this), and when you say in the last verses:"Black and white. Yin and yang. A fight from the beginning. An eternal vicious circle." This reminds me of something.

And here it is a Yinyang carved into the wall of a traditional house found in Aceh, Sumatra.

Black and white:

Yinyang: dark-light; negative-positive. But here, Yinyang sits down on Padma, or instead becomes the core or crown of Padma.

Padma: the sacred lotus, the throne of Hindu gods, and the seat of Buddhist saints; purity of the body, speech and mind, as if floating above the murky waters of material attachment and physical desire. Zhou Dunyi: "I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained." [Quoted from WIKIPEDIA].

So I guess, this artist has another opinion about Yinyang. Maybe, according to him, the forces that contradict each other, actually not to fight, or to eliminate each other, but to coexist and complement each other and become a unified whole.

In other words, maybe, Yinyang is something sacred, according to him.

But here, I'm just trying to express my opinion. Thank you for the space provided.
