IANUA

IANUA

People in our society almost always use the face outward often stopping at appearances, and becoming a prisoner of mechanisms illusory. In this picture I wanted to merge the imagination of our ancient western culture with the east.
Janus, Ianus by Ianua port from which comes the name Genoa, has a face turned to the phenomenal world outside and one facing inward, toward the inner world and subjective.
Tantra believes that every human being can free himself for good, thanks to the fact that what causes problems can be turned into the key that will open the doors of liberation.
So the creative energy female has such an important place, it is the lunar aspect of the divine power of Shiva, and the end is always the search for harmony between the energetic forces.
Parvati is the feminine face, is the sister of Shiva, his wife, rather it is the divinity itself in another form. But in fact the two are just faces of one.
In Taoism are the very ancient concept of Yin and Yang that is the basis of philosophy and Chinese thought; It is the symbol of duality exists in every element that make up the universe: two opposite and complementary entities that make up the whole.
