Initially the focus is on relationship between male
and female, the external expression of the idea. Gradually and naturally the
concept evolves and the study becomes more internalized. The focal
point becomes more about the metaphysical idea of the masculine and the feminine,
and the energies that make up the individual.

is an extension of an internal more important reality, the relationship with
one self." For her, one suggests the other.
