520 |a This project utilises the Geisha philosophy of Wabi Sabi to re-realise and appreciate every moment of ourordinary mundane lives. By adapting Wabi Sabi aesthetics and disciplines into my photographic practice, the aim is to unveil the hidden aesthetics of objects and for us to re-realise the value in every Ichigo-ichie moment of flux and impermanence. Reviewing or realising every Ichigo-ichie moment is an act of being totally committed to every mundane moment of life in an attempt to uncover the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. The approach is to reveal the unnoticed aspects of the mundane and to inspire the spectator to appreciate the untouched organic qualities of imperfection, incompleteness and imbalance. Subsequently, the spectator would develop his or her own personal ideas to extend the inner narration of the object.
