2nd December: Competition 3 – Five Elements – PDI

Earth, wood, fire, water & metal or combine all

Five Elements Theory is a Chinese philosophy used to describe interactions and relationships between things. The five elements — wood, fire, earth, metal, and water — are believed to be the fundamental elements of everything in the universe between which interactions occur.

Five Element Theory asserts that the world changes according to the five elements’ generating or overcoming relationships. Generating and overcoming are the complementary processes — the yin and yang — of Five Element Theory.

Generating processes promote development, while overcoming processes control development. By promoting and restraining, systems are harmonised and balance is maintained.

It will be interesting to see photographers’ interpretations, and it is suggested that the focus should be on harmony and balance
