Challenge 87 - "The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic" by Artshot Sue


The Wabi-Sabi Aesthetic




Wabi-Sabi is the quintessential Japanese aesthetic. It is a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.

For a more detailed description of the theme along with samples, please check the preview announcement here:

For this challenge there are no limitations regarding post-processing. BUT Please keep in mind that this is a photography challenge first and foremost, so let's stay away from venturing into the digital art realm by using paint or poster type effects.
