Project Statement

FRAGILE BEAUTY
These recent set of photographs are contemplative in nature, and restraint. These images are studies in subtlety and quiet observation, where the overlooked becomes significant. Led by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi — a world-view that embraces imperfection, impermanence, and the quiet beauty found in decay. Influenced also by Minimalist photography, I aim to emphasize sparseness, careful composition. Many of the subjects reflect natural and man-made imperfections: weathered wood, weeds breaking through cracks in concrete, abandoned buildings, and the forgotten objects within them. Found, discarded, and quietly enduring. Plants touched by both light and shadow reveal a quiet radiance — fragile, fleeting, and profound.Through this work, I seek to find and share beauty in the imperfect, the transient, and the unnoticed.
