Yin and Yang

This collage is for the Three Muses challenge to use the colors "Black White and Red".  Yin and Yang , the principle of opposite forces interconnected and interdependent in the natural world and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Yin and yang are actually complementary, not opposing forces, interacting to form a whole greater than either separate part. It's all about balance; shadow and light being in tune with each other in harmony.
