This original artwork represents the concept of Yin and Yang whereby opposing forces are interconnected not unlike balance and gravity. The collaboration between Indo Board and Drew Brophy began with the very popular Bamboo Beach Indo Original, which instantly became the best selling Indo Board graphic.
