Wabi Sabi – An acceptance of transience.
Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in
this impossible thing we know as life.
Wabi Sabi is a term used for objects that are imperfect or shows signs of decay (signs of life?!), from a dried up leaf, rust on a car or a crumbling building; being able to see beauty in something that is old or worn; accepting the natural cycles of growth, decay, and death
Today’s society has a preference for shiny brand new things and anything with a little ‘character’. For example, the signs of age on the
human face belies a person’s characteristics, are seen as old and should be ignored or dismissed in some way. (Photographic retouchers are often told to remove wrinkles and lines from portraits but, I always leave some behind or lighten them just a little, otherwise I find that the person becomes unrecognisable).
An image which can be taken with any camera, but represents the ideas portrayed in this philosophy
nature and the beauty of things modest and humble.
Wabi-Sabi means getting rid of the unnecessary.Simplicity is the core of things wabi-sabi.
