Thoughts came into my mind about this image(breaking down the elements in the picture to objects and finding symbols for them, what they get associated to )
sun - emits light, source of energy/life etc, light, colour, day, etc
moon reflects light, image formed coz of sun's light falling on it, not reality only an image, night, darkness, without sun moon will not be seen, etc
both are opposites..
when both kept together (as in the picture )- 2 opposites trying to be one even when both are 2 different entities....like 2 sides of a coin....
how i associate it with man...
2 faces of a person ..one to the world another what he is in reality....the reality is where his energy is but the unreal one is always along with him which gets reflected only coz of his reality...
i would nail down it to portrait of a person who has 2 faces one shows the world and what he actually is...one for the world might be dark like the night but the reality can spread energy to the world ....
presentation of the picture
very good graphics ,visually pleasing ,balanced composition ....liked the image as it is....
I’m sure this is not the way to write my thoughts about this image..but very bad in literature…..so made it points like this….
not sure if my thought process is correct....but this is how i decode an art work be it painting, sculpture,installation, conceptual photography etc...
