This Work has been designed, based on the Existence of Paradox in the World. 

The concept of this work is the confrontation of positive and negative forces, or in other words, good and evil in the world. This confrontation has become a combination, especially in today’s world. These forces come together, combine, and it is more difficult to distinguish one from the other.

In the design of this work, two different colors of light are symbolically considered as representatives of opposing forces in the world. Adjustable blades are also installed on a plate that receive light from both sides. Visitors can adjust each blade at different angles and determine the intensity of the passage and combination of blue and red light. This reminds the perception of different people of the world, which creates a pattern consisting of a combination of combined lights and various shadows on the frame of the work.
