Here is what I see in the Yin-Yang image: Nothingness and existence (alternatively, two opposing ends: Yin 阴 means darkness, Yang 阳 brightness), which are represented by the black and white colors, are embedded in each other and are interrelated. For example, if we say a person’s hair is black, our scope of application is at the level of the hair as a whole, so we leave out factors such as what is happening at the stratum where vitamins are processed to produce hair, what happens to give it colour and shape, and so on. Hence, tele-scope (afar-sight), peri-scope (around-sight), micro-scope (small-sight)… The Yin-Yang image, and every image for that matter, has at least one scope of application: that of its pictorial representation, i.e. what we see.
