ABOUT: ‘mono no aware' minis, mixed-media collages on panel
This Japanese concept is a reminder to appreciate the fleeting nature of beauty and the bittersweet awareness that everything in existence is temporary. The ethereal quality of all the materials used reflects the fragility of our lives. The layered compositions are a way to capture the beauty of the passing moments and fading memories.
