Nature Photographer Gregor Schöpf shoots Nature through the lens of a Japanese aesthetic, Wabi-Sabi (侘寂).
Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) characterizes Impermanence as beautiful.
侘 Wabi
Beauty in Simplicity.
寂 Sabi
Beauty in Ephemerality and Decay.
By aestheticizing Impermanence, Gregor's Photography is a visual Metaphor for finding peace with Death and Decay.
To address complex problems human civilization will be confronted with in the 21st century, we need to grow our cultural sensitivity towards the subject of death.
Simple observation of nature can impart wisdom on the subject of death.
Death is a natural and necessary part of the human condition. Facing death alone is a universal part of the human condition.
The 侘寂 Wabi-Sabi Nature Photography Motifs are intended to convey this message - of coming to terms with death - through the medium of art.
