This collection reflects on earlier works created in accordance with the Japanese philosophy of Shibumi. Loosely translated as “effortless perfection,” Shibumi embodies an aesthetic of refined simplicity, elegant restraint, and subtle, unobtrusive beauty. The three core principles of Shibumi: Austerity, Asymmetry, and Subtlety are deeply woven throughout my practice.
Guided by these principles, the collection presents minimalist works designed to invite the viewer to pause and connect with the true essence of the subject.
Inspired by the delicate, weathered, and dying leaves of the Eucalyptus plant, this series employs warm tones and unexpected bursts of bright color to capture their subtle shifts in hue. These variations not only celebrate the essential qualities of the leaves on their fragile stems but also reflect the transient nature of life’s cycles, revealing the quiet beauty inherent even in life’s final stages.
