For most people life is a journey through endless polarities. Good cannot exist without evil; happiness without sadness; wrong without right. As long as one remains within such realm of duality one is always surrounded by opposites and has to choose one over the other. Every choice made is a step in one of two directions. Every step taken leads to a new choice to be made...
The individual perception of dualism is mostly influenced by personal beliefs and interpretations of life events. Which in turn are primarily ruled by the dominant characteristics of human nature like desire, fear, laziness, or selfishness.
The collective perception of dualism is created through cultural norms that shift and change over time. These norms are largely shaped by influencers (individuals, religions, organizations, businesses, etc) who push and promote their own beliefs or ideas, often with hidden agendas, which inevitably are more or less dualistic.
The understanding of the nature of duality gradually reveals itself as a consequence of objective reflection on human culture. A realization that ultimately the duality of things is a human created concept. The good or evil is only so if we make it to be or impose on others that it is so.
In this image I wanted to depict the perplexity that duality imposes on a human being, and the ever present attainability of liberation.

Wow! This looks great! This optical illusion trick works every time to get a great effect. Great job on the sky as well, and a good commentary piece on the average human mind.
Your image shows how it would be a world created by men.
Men don´t have skills, patience or time enough to create an environment where nothing is the same. Man just creates paterns, copies. Man creates nothing.
God creates nature. Nature is infinite. Nature is perpetual. God creates eternity eternally. God creates as time passes by.
In nature, you do not create, you transform. In nature, you cannot rule, just observe. In nature... you are nature.
