 3 times? That's really a BIG compliment! Then again, I just striped
through Wallace and Gromit on my to-do list :)
If you don't mind I'll leave the explanation of the "symbolism" to the

>(which faith are yin-yangs from anyway? Taoism?)

Yep. So this is some sort of religious "fantasy" pic. :) I'm not an
expert in these matters, though...

Taoism... Buddhism... Dunno if Joris Bellenger intended it to be, but to
me this is a depiction of Confucianism. :)
