Friedrich Nietzsche viewed human nature as fundamentally contradictory, and this duality is reflected in all aspects of life. He believed that every person has two faces: Apollo and Dionysus. The Apollo aspect represents reason, order, and restraint, while the Dionysus aspect represents emotion, chaos, and passion. Nietzsche believed that the tension between these two forces is the driving force behind human existence, the fundamental part of human existence, and the tension between reason and emotion. The work uses the elements of the ocean, sailboats, sky, and Rubik's Cube as creative elements, representing the duality of human nature. The ocean can represent the dark, mysterious, and chaotic side of human nature, while the sailboat represents order, control, and rationality. The sky can represent the purity and innocence of youth, while the Rubik's Cube represents the complexity and challenge of balancing these opposing forces.  Duality 二元性 Acrylic on canvas 80cm x 90cm |
