In the realm of existence, the duality of yin and yang has long symbolized opposing forces in harmonious balance, echoing life's intricate tapestry. Within my work, Yin & Yang, this concept beckons viewers into a labyrinth of self-discovery. Through meticulous arrangement of found objects, it mirrors the complexities of the human psyche. Each element, chosen with care, embodies moments and emotions, layered to reflect personal history. Amidst contrasts of light and darkness, joy and sorrow, the piece prompts introspection, urging viewers to confront inner conflicts and reconcile opposing emotions. Ultimately, Yin & Yang serves as a catalyst for contemplation, inviting exploration of the depths within—a testament to the dance between our conscious and subconscious selves.

Juror's Statement - 39th Annual Juried Exhibition -Cuyahoga Valley Art Center:
"Mr. Camerato is displaying an increasing confidence in his constructions composed of found materials.
They are loaded with messages and thematically based. This one in particular has a strong silhouette presence and alludes
to a function. There is also playfulness in this work and a very subtle use of color." C. Arthur Croyle - Juror
