*Symbiosis is not only harmony. It is also a struggle over which side consumes the other.*

## Concept

Symbiosis is not just harmony but also struggle. Within us, light and darkness coexist, and the question is whether we can find balance or whether one side will consume the other. This work explores the fear of one’s dark side, its power and potential for domination, and the attempt to achieve symbiosis between two aspects of the self.
