侘寂 Wabi-Sabi Nature Photography is an invitation to: » Slow down » Relax the mind » Experience serenity
based on Japanese aesthetic sensibility Wabi-Sabi (侘寂).
The philosophy of Wabi-Sabi (侘寂) finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. It values authenticity, mindfulness, and the appreciation of the present moment.
The word Wabi (侘), rooted in the syllable wa - harmony, means "subdued taste", beauty in simplicity.
The word Sabi (寂), from the verb sabu - to wane, means beauty revealed through the process of time, that which is short-lived or in decay.
"I always think of Wabi-Sabi as a personal thing - ephemeral and fleeting and your photos seem to catch that spirit beautifully." Andrew Juniper
Author of "Wabi-Sabi - The Japanese Art of Impermanence"
The Portfolio is further characterized by certain re-occurring visual principles: Asymmetry and Irregularity (Fukinsei 不均整), Texture (Kime 肌理), and Empty Space (Ma 間).
