易經中組成卦的符號叫爻。〝—〞是陽爻· 〝——〞是陰爻·含有交錯及變化之意。全畫以抽象表現的手法·藉易經中的陰陽卦象· 技巧地呈現陽爻的陽剛、燥 與陰爻的陰柔、纏連。又象傳曰:「天行健·君子以自強不息·潛龍勿用·陽在下也。」故在畫組的 安排上·置陽爻於下·放陰爻於上·兩相搭配·於紛擾的混沌中循環不息·以生萬象。

In the book I Ching*, the symbol " — " means Yang, and "——” means Yin. Yang comes to be associated with light, day, maleness, and the south; while Yin is aligned with dark, night, femaleness, and the north.The twin concepts of Yin and Yang are fundamental to Chinese philosophy, in which they are seen not in opposition to each other, but rather as complementary-each needs the other to exist.

These two paintings represent the constantly changing interactions of Yin and Yang that give rise to the infinite variety of the patterns of life. The juxtaposition of up and down, together with a mainly somber tonality, has offered a symbolic explanation to the chaos of the world through a sophisticated application of Chinese ink brush strokes in the style of abstract expressionism.
