The Visions
Sabi “Aged and withered, rich and flamboyant, two conflicting ideas attract and
interact with each other in a same universe, result in enlivening the universe
itself. Sabi is a double structured form of beauty arising from one’s streaming
mind in relation to such enlivened universe.” Encyclopedia Nipponica
With this series, I explored the concept of Sabi, an idea peculiar to Japanese
aesthetics, by means of photography. By capturing the paradoxical beauty
created by unexpected collaborations of human, nature and time, I attempted to
express Sabi, which exists deep within my conscious, and ultimately, is my
motivation for creation.
