Duality is Inspired by an afternoon spent In Snow Canyon State Park during the initial bloom of spring. Where life and death are intertwined in a dance with one another becoming inseparable. A yucca in full bloom is depicted within feet of a dead withered one. Thus creating an environment flush with intense contrast. Life and death become intertwined as one, reiterating the fact that they simply could not exist without one another. Resembling how in order to grow, parts of us need to pass on making room for new seeds to sprout, bloom, and ultimately die starting the cycle all over again.
