"See All" - My First Bronze

Completed: One awesome bronze poured sculpture. The ideas behind it vary it started as two ideas and grew to encompass so much more. It can be summarized simply when we consider the different elements, but after you read this think about how this explanation can be expanded.

One side is fire moving, getting lighter as it moves upwards, the other has water, getting heavier as it moves downwards. In the middle there is a hollow circle. One side of the circle has an eye, the other side has a ying-yang of a flame and water droplet meshed together.

For me it is another manifestation of seeing the dualities in the world and yet overcoming that idea of dualities being incompatible, seeing it and understanding that they also complete each other. Fire and water balance each other and excess or scarcity of either and the world is unrecognizable and perhaps not even in existence. Our vision can be caught between or it can recognize the harmony. It is the binaries and opposites in the world that divide and unify the world we exist in.
