I wish to describe “Life is Movement”. My concept is to use the representation of Ying Yang to combine the opposing factors of ‘Natures Power’ versus the ‘Power of Modern Industry’. As much as these two points are contrasting they are also connected. This piece tells us that in the world every moment and every place has life. Life through movement.
