An original oil painting of a still life on panel.

As mirrored in the mystery of this painting, the yin and yang symbol can be thought of as complementary forces rather than opposites. The Yin represents darkness and cold while the Yang or light side embodies all things soft, positive, and warm. These forces perfectly reflect one another in this painting within the delicateness of the subject matter. There is stillness amidst the darkness; a quiet solitude. In this piece, it is evident how both light and dark can dance together.
