WABI SABI 侘び寂び
Born from the Emptiness of An Imperfect World

Wabi Sabi-Born from the emptiness of an imperfect world is a hypothetical exhibition. For this project,  I am both the curator and  designer for a hypothetical exhibition. I curated this exhibition with a group of 12 artists range from photography, architecture and graphic design in Japan to show their traces of Wabi Sabi through creativity. 

The exhibition centers around Wabi Sabi, a cultural tradition rooted in the beauty of imperfection and impermanence The exhibition, as an invitation to explore the natural and unadorned  concept of Wabi Sabi, will present a series of master pieces in architecture, photography and design of Japan. The exhibition will trace how they integrate the philosophy of Wabi Sabi - the flawed beauty of imperfection, the harmony with nature and the eternal tranquility through their master pieces.

Wabi Sabi means ‘imperfect’ in Japanese, and  has a sense of roughness and rusty feeling. To follow the mood, the entry pages of the cataloguen follow an ‘out of grid’ style to trace the typography, as well as applying abstractive brushstrokes to define the imperfect random impression.
