Exploring the power of Opposites:
A symbol isn’t just the thing itself; it stands for something beyond its literal meaning.
+ A dove often symbolizes peace.
+ A red rose frequently represents love or romance.
+ Darkness can symbolize evil, mystery, or the unknown.
The symbolism of opposites represents both positive and negative aspects of an idea and tell a story about the two halves that make up a whole or keep the world in balance. Symbols like peace can be countered by conflict, while symbols of hope can be contrasted with despair.
