Meet Death, Live High

Acrylic on canvas

  

The black represents Yin — darkness and death; the coloours represent Yang — light and life.

 

At some point in life, everyone must confront death and accept the rhythm and cycle of existence. And it is precisely because we understand this that we choose to live each day fully.

 

Life–death–life is a continuous cycle.

 

We all live within this circle. Sometimes we pass through deep darkness — like the Orange Rabbit bummed out in the painting, unable to feel joy for a long while. But darkness never lasts forever. There comes a moment when we gather our strength again, find our courage, and choose to live positively, once more.
