Gheorghe Popa​ says:

Yin and Yang is a photograph I took while working on my Ice Anatomy project. I realized this photo while I was checking the lake. This time the lake just started to freeze. Ice Anatomy is an aerial serie of photos of the Cuejdel Lake in Romania during the winter when it is completely frozen. The fresh snow and the ice cracks created these shapes that resemble neurons or just cells. My project Ice Anatomy follows the transformations of the ice on the lake over several winters. This is a subject that I have been pursuing for more than two years and I came up with the idea during a winter, when I observed the shapes and cracks appear on the surface of the lake after the process of frosting and defrosting.
