Ying and Yang

Description
Art quilt inspired by the traditional Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang. According to legend, the Chinese emperor Fu Hsi claimed that the best state for everything in the universe is a state of harmony represented by a balance of yin and yang.
Within this piece I have used white and black and the circle as the Yin Yang symbol that represents the idealized harmony of these forces, equilibrium in the universe. In ancient Taoist texts, white and black represent enlightenment and ignorance, respectively.
