Shafiq nordin

In Between
2016

In Between broadly discusses the concept of Chinese fundamentals of the Yin & Yang (dark and bright) - how the opposite or contrary forces are complementary; ‘Yin’ representing the 'shady side' while ‘Yang' represents the 'sunny side'. Here the artist applies this concept referencing war and peace; something inseparable yet contradictory, as all other things created in this world.

The portrayal of the Koi fish or more specifically Nishikigoi, metaphorically represents the good fortune, prosperity, longevity, ambition and perseverance that most people, especially those controlling the system, use to make the world a better place.
