Tibetan Medicine—Red/Blue

Piece Description:

Birth, old age, sickness and death have always been an important topic in literary and artistic works. These issues are related not only to life and society, but also to the laws of life and growth in nature as well as throughout the universe.

Artworks Tibetan Medicine—Red and Tibetan Medicine—Blue address polarity and relativity between the forces of yin and yang. In Tibetan Buddhism’s concept of life and death, there is no separation between these two states of existence. The arrows and their colors represent people’s awareness of a mutual transformation and reincarnation that occurs between life and death.

“Life” and “death“ are two fundamental forces of life. The size of these two paintings may imply the artist’s struggle between these two energies at different points in her life.
