A multimedia project exploring the theme of duality and the journey through positive and negative energy

Duality explores the relationship between positive and negative energy and the reality that one does not exist without the other.

This project was born out of an attempt to process pain and cope with an overabundance of negative energy. Positive energy exists all around us, but is often masked by negative energy or ignorance.

The images, paintings, sights, and sounds of Duality are meant to convey a sense of hope, lightness, and positivity in a time of darkness and negativity.

There is no good without evil. There is no joy without sorrow. There is no present without past. I do not exist without my pain.
