Sun & Moon exercise

This week, I must created the Sun & moon symbol. Firstly, I must have some ideas of tradition by searching online. Secondly, build the concept of Sun & Moon symbol in my mind. Finally, drafting and working with it.

In my case, after researching, I think about the concept of "Sun & Moon". What qualities of meaning do the sun and the moon have?

Hmmm...... Let me think ... When I think about Sun & Moon, I always feel that they conflict together. Many antonym pairs were appeared, such as: hot - cold ; bright - dark ; fire - water ; infinite - finite; ....

However, beside the conflict, I feel the balance between Sun & Moon. Both Sun & Moon complete the shortcoming of opponent.

Based on the opposite & balance of Sun & Moon, they make me think about male and female. They are completely different but they complete each other.

In China, there is a symbol which doesn't express only the opposite but also the balance. That is 'Yin and Yang'.

Belong to these things, I created the "Sun & Moon" symbol. My "Sun & Moon" is the combination between Yin & Yang, blue & red, finite & infinte.
- Yin & Yang represent female & male;
- Blue & red represent water & fire;
- Finite & infinite represent moon & sun;

when the first time that I take a look at this, I think this is a Tai Chi kungfu from Chinese. I really interested in the way that you explain your jobs.^^
