Wabi Sabi Holiday
Wabi-sabi is a Japanese design philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and simplicity. The concept emphasizes the natural and raw state of objects, and embraces the idea that things become more beautiful with age. When using wabi-sabi as inspiration for your home, focus on incorporating natural materials like wood, stone, and linen, and favoring muted, earthy tones. Opt for furniture and decor pieces that are imperfect or have a handmade quality, and aim to create a sense of calm and serenity in your space.
Featured Artist | Cydney Parkes
As an artist, my chosen medium is concrete—a seemingly rigid and unyielding material. Yet, within its hard exterior, I find the perfect canvas to capture the essence of vulnerability and resilience.
My creative journey delves deep into the human experience, where vulnerability is often regarded as a weakness. Through my art, I aim to challenge this perception and redefine vulnerability as a source of strength and authenticity.
Through my work, I invite viewers to reflect on their own vulnerability and resilience. Each piece serves as a mirror, encouraging introspection and fostering a sense of connection with the shared human experience. In a world that often demands perfection, my art reminds us that our flaws and vulnerabilities are what make us beautifully unique.
