An interesting point of view from which to encounter the WWP theme could be from the
perspective of contrasts, form de dual meaning that is always present in the reality we
perceive. For example: old-new, freedom-repression, luminosity-darkness, poverty-
opulent, power-weakness, color-B&W, development-underdevolped, war-peace, etc.
This will give a larger range of perspectives to be interpreted in a creative way. ?What do
you think about this?
