A sense of the body meets an ephemeral atmosphere.
In Duality, red accumulates beneath a cloudlike white formation. The red carries a sense of the body and physicality, while its blurred contours remain indeterminate. It spreads like a landscape beneath the white, allowing bodily and spatial associations to coexist.
The white appears suspended and ephemeral, its diffuse boundaries giving it an almost immaterial presence. The relationship between them moves between body and atmosphere, landscape and cloud. As the viewer moves, their apparent depth and density shift, bringing these contrasting sensations into a shared spatial experience.
