Tchaikovsy’s ballet Swan Lake features a white swan and a black swan, representing good and evil, respectively. Similarly, the movie Black Swan starring Natalie Portman portrays Nina — a protagonist aspiring to transition from a white swan to a perfect black swan — through a synesthesia of desire and anxiety. As such, the white and black swans are not only a matter of simple color contrast but also imply contradictory affect and transformation.
