In the yin-yang of Taoism there is the signification of polar energies
merging together as one. It is a universal symbol, a well-known Jungian
archetype. The opposing energies, symbolized in the yin-yang, are represented
as a sexual union, a centering of forces co-mingling throughout the universe.
The transformation of matter into spirit is directly connected to
Taoist philosophy. It is a philosophy that has some relevance to the
interaction of signs evoked throughout this exhibition.
