Wabi Sabi embraces the of finding beauty in imperfection, impermanence and incompleteness within nature and objects. Through photography, we reveal how time, weather, decay and simplicity create a quiet elegance in life’s fleeting nature.
These works invite the viewer to observe beauty in the natural cycle of decay and aging, material and human, in things which are incomplete and imperfect, to slowdown and find appreciation for the constantly changing impermanence of nature.
