WABI-SABI. Aesthetic concept from Japan which does not want to be expressed in words. Associations: That which is consciously imperfect. That which is flawed and anti-smooth. That which grows organically and decays: „Things are either devolving toward, or evolving from, nothingness.” That which is coarse, crude, in its natural state, irregular. That which is provisional, non-sterile, reduced to the essence: „Pare down to the essence, but don't remove the poetry.” That which reveals itself in silence, in slowness, and in the detail. An ode to finiteness. A way of living, of dying? Quotes by Leonard Koren, from: ‘Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers’
