Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, transience, and simplicity. Rooted in Zen Buddhism, it invites us to appreciate the natural cycle of growth and decay, highlighting the charm in things that are aged, weathered, or incomplete. In art, Wabi-Sabi often manifests in subtle, minimalistic forms—embracing the irregular and the unpolished. For me, Wabi-Sabi is more than just an aesthetic—it’s a philosophy. Through my work, I aim to capture the fleeting beauty of the moment, the quiet elegance of imperfection, and the serenity that comes from embracing the ephemeral.
