About the artwork
Within the title of this piece we can see the contrast of the Lotus and Kick position. It demonstrates the essence of Tai Chi, with one winning the battle within themselves beginning with motivation and persevering with patience until we attain devotion, balance and harmony. A silvery lightness washes over the entire image and is interspersed within the textures of the piece. The grey, monotonous background brings the infinite movements of repetition, practice and correcting errors into context, creating resonance throughout the entire space.
