Dance of Dualities
Growing the Garden Within
A collection of gems of wisdom rather than instruction. An invitation to pause, contemplate, explore and create.
There is no single correct interpretation. Your artwork does not need to explain both sides literally. Let the duality awaken an idea, an image, a feeling or a question. It should express what the duality means to you, not illustrate an answer chosen by someone else.
1. Explore the ten themes and choose one that sparks your curiosity.
2. Tick up to three dualities that interest you.

4. Read, reflect, and select the one you wish to interpret.
5. Create your artwork in your own medium and voice.
