1 The moment when Astraeus and Eos meet for next movements

The theme of duality is a recurrent motif in various forms of art, both written and visual. Our creative endeavor delves into Greek mythology, centering on the deities Astraeus and Eos, respectively the God of dusk and the Goddess of dawn. Our goal is to craft a script that portrays the interplay between these interactions, illustrating how they together form a cohesive whole.

The visualization of this concept comprises two distinct movements derived from a single captured motion. A blue ribbon represents Astraeus, while a light-yellow source is adorned with scattered stars symbolizes Eos. These two celestial bodies flow from opposite ends, culminating in a dramatic confrontation in the middle before departing from each other, symbolizing the eternal cycle of dusk and dawn in the natural world.

By reimagining the interplay between these two deities metaphorically, our team aims to create a fresh representation of the concept of 'duality'.
