The universe is a manifestation of infinite forms.
At macro level there is one universal force that unites everything while at micro level every being is made up of atoms which are essentially the same.
A Greek sculpture that fell from pedestal and broke into thousands pieces, eventually returned to the smallest particles. A human hand that is holding a paint brush today might be made up of one of the participles from ancient Greece. The cycle goes on.
The ancient concept of Oneness has always been fascinating to me. All being are connected through interdependence. Stripping off mask and forms we will find the same core hidden within.
Dots are used to form words in different languages. Words are the symbols of different people and cultures. My aim is to create a bridge between different realms. I believe that there could be harmony in this increasingly divisive world if we see beyond differences.

Inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's book I intend to blur the boundary between the good and evil.
Without knowing the words you would never know which side is good and which side is evil.
Is good always good? Is evil always evil? By what standard? By whose judgment?

I want to create my own version of YinYang.
