Erni Bar: Strange Yin & Yang or Fire & Water or Good & Evil

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

     Two simple 3D foam "C" elements locked together.  On the back Erni writes; "Strange Yin & Yang    Fire & Water    Good & Evil" 

     At first it looked simple, but then many deep meanings come to mind.  If Fire is Red and Water is blue, then shouldn't Good be Red and Evil Blue?

     It would be interesting to come up with a questionaire with words, and people would have to attribute colors to them.  Yes, I'm sure someone is going to tell me that it has already been done.  But don't forget, you heard it here first!

I'm not sure what they really are.  The only clue I have is that on the back a bit of the paper is coming off.  Under the paper and on the original package it reads; "Made in China"

    Thank you Erni.  I hope you had nice travels in China!

Say out loud quickly the color of the word...do not say the word

(for example:  say "red" for the first word)

Politically speaking in Greece:

The Red is  left: Communist Party

The Blue is right: New Democracy Party

But for a balanced Greek Parliament Erni would have to send you:

Green for PASOK (socialist party)

Yellow for bananas? (oh, sorry, I mean: independents)

You stole my first thought, Angie. Also, this thing of Erni's has a kind of PacMan quality to it.

Is black red + therefore good, and white blue + therefore evil? Is up red + good and down blue + evil?
