Duality

Duality refers to having two opposing parts, such as light and dark, up and down, love and hate, fear and courage, or good and evil. Within each person, there can exist multiple dualities shaped by personal backstories. These dualities inform both what and how artists create.

Whether expressed through compositional elements, theme, or both, the photographs in this exhibition explore contradiction and paradox. Each artist approaches their chosen subject matter looking at how duality informs how they document the world and how they bring ideas to fruition. These images look at opposites and ask, can there be an overlapping of two opposing parts and how does each side of the coin shape the story of the other?
