Wabi-Sabi is the art of seeing beauty in what is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
[…]
“Wabi” refers to simplicity, to a humble life lived in harmony with nature. It suggests an austere beauty, an elegance found in modesty. “Sabi,” on the other hand, evokes the patina of time, the wear of objects, and the solitude and serenity that come with age. Together, these ideas form a philosophy that celebrates imperfection, incompleteness, and the passage of time as essential elements of beauty.
