The art series of photographs titled "Divine Dichotomy" is a symbolic representation of the eternal struggle and interaction of opposites in the world, as well as within ourselves.
The nude figure of a woman, depicted against a black square, can be interpreted as a symbol of the feminine essence, possessing the universal gift of life and fertility, juxtaposed with the inaccessibility and mystery of the black square, which symbolizes the senselessness and finality of the dark aspects of life.

Black color is often associated with mystery, secret and the unknown, as well as with the potential and possibilities hidden inside us. The figure of a woman, in turn, embodies the life force and beauty that stand against this incomprehensible darkness.
Therefore, the series "Divine Dichotomy" is intended to provoke the viewer to reflect on the relationship of opposites in our world, how they interact and exist in harmony or conflict. It provokes thoughts on the divine and mysterious aspects of our existence, as well as on the state of balance in the heart and mind of a person.
