yield & overcome
a photo exhibition by marsTao Te Ching - Lao Tzu - Verse 22
Break to become whole,
Twist to become straight,
Empty to become full,
Wear out to become new,
Have little to gain much,
With much, you gain only confusion.
The wise therefore embrace non-duality
And use that to shepherd the world.
Not showing off, they shine brightly.
Not justifying themselves, they gain respect.
Not defining themselves, they become new.
Not bragging and parading themselves, they lead.
Not flattering themselves, their success endures.
Not competing,
In all the world they have no competition.
As the old masters taught,
Yield to overcome.
By returning, you become whole.
Break to become whole,
Twist to become straight,
Empty to become full,
Wear out to become new,
Have little to gain much,
With much, you gain only confusion.
The wise therefore embrace non-duality
And use that to shepherd the world.
Not showing off, they shine brightly.
Not justifying themselves, they gain respect.
Not defining themselves, they become new.
Not bragging and parading themselves, they lead.
Not flattering themselves, their success endures.
Not competing,
In all the world they have no competition.
As the old masters taught,
Yield to overcome.
By returning, you become whole.
about
This series stems from the artist’s subscription to the Daoist notion of a fundamental binary state of existence, out of which infinite layers of complexity unfurl and blossom.
This series captures vignettes of daily life as interpretations of the forces represented in the Bagua, the Eight Trigrams.
Accompanied with the series are a few other selected works from over the years.
