Refers to the two opposing sides of the nature of man. For example: good and evil, emotional and reasonable. This is a common thread through history, religion and art.
In art the opposition will be portrayed with a diabolic figure with its opposition. In literature for example or movies they present a principal character and his antagonist. In the case of religion Christianity for example has God as the good side being the creator of everything and Satan being the bad side trying to take over the souls of men.
In the image below we have a kid that portrays innocence and at the same time that innocence has the opposition of a gun. This is highlighted by the color used in this case red and white.
The sad part is that this is very very REAL. Surely it is not a reality we are immersed in, yet so many nations have the young and innocent involved in war, for the promise of "stained glass". Good example of duality in art. And we all know what The Arts represent to man-kind.
