Taijitu (Broken Dao II), Arlette Stella, 2021, acrylic on canvas, 24 x 20 in. / 60.96 x 50.8 cm.

The Dao (Tao) is The Way, the way that things are when they are left to their natural flow. When that Way is broken, the taijitu (yin/yang symbol) is not balanced. This piece represents what is happening to "The Way" and how it could look if it were not broken (see corner).
