YOU AND ME
"You and Me" should be the source of inspiration to design an innovative and contemporary diamond jewel, symbolising every possible facet of dualism you can imagine. It’s the mystery of two elements that are irreversibly intertwined, sometimes complementary, sometimes in contradiction.
Plato’s being and becoming, Aristotle’s form and matter, yin and yang in Chinese philosophy; the concept of dualism is common to both Western and Eastern thinking. Where Western dualism focuses on contradicting and often opposing components, like good and evil, war and peace, Eastern philosophy describes it as two parts of one that complement each other. In both paradigms each of two elements cannot exist without the other; it’s impossible to know if you are happy when you have never been sad, you can’t feel cold if you haven’t felt hot, ‘evil’ has no meaning without the concept ‘good’…
In Western beliefs dualism mostly reflects conflicting or opposing components: the thin, naïve and quiet Laurel is opposed to the plump, arrogant and loud Hardy, but none of the two has been as successful solo as they were as a team.
Eastern mysticism, like Taoism, has very little to do with Western dualism, because it represents a balance rather than conflict. Yin and yang for example are opposites but co-exist in harmony, existing only through each other, complementing and mutually controlling one another. To achieve balance, yin creates yang and yang creates yin.
Two become One. You and Me.
