Balance of Earth and Ash
The ancient symbol of yin and yang is reimagined in burnt orange, charcoal black and streaks of silver-white. One half is scratched with fast, upward marks like wind on sand; the other is thick, dark and grainy like volcanic ash. Each side carries its small opposite circle. Energetic yet balanced, it reminds us that light and shadow are never apart.
