714th Show & Tell Competition: Duality

[hughjones]

The theme is Duality. I have always been fascinated by the interplay of one idea against another, and especially wherein there is an unstable equilibrium - an even balance that could quickly go one way or the other - between the ideas. The interplay can be accomplished via object and its reflection; object vs distorion of the object; object and its shadow; sharpness vs ambiguity; color plays; object/ground...light vs heavy; sad vs happy;

The theme is open to interpretation. Looking forward to seeing your interpretations! Some examples:


Shadow Play


abstraction


Avalokiteshvara


Escape from Dante's Inferno (montage)


Crossing the Styx


von Neumann Replicating Machine


Vacuum Energy
