While I undoubtedly believe each image should be strong enough to stand on its own, I love the way image pairings can highlight aspects of one another such as form, scale, texture and shadows. While each independent, the two images simultaneously work as one, bringing out potentialities in one another that were otherwise latent energies. The diptych pairing is especially interesting to me above all as it seems to so naturally speak to the nature of relationships: to be unified as one and yet still remain two independent entities. In a divine diptych, one image does not overpower the other, it is a delicate balance that is ever in a beautiful, lively dance of flux. The two images are sharply distinct from one another and yet somehow birth a third form together, a form of unity. The two individuals have no hierarchy nor seek to make the other conform to one’s own characteristics. They enhance and support one another when together, while standing on their own when separated.
