Wabi
Wabi: A Vision of the Future Through the Lens of Imperfection
Wabi is a sculpture born of contrasts—crafted from the discarded, yet reaching for the future. Built from scraps of wood collected from construction sites and remnants of earlier works, this piece embodies the philosophy of renewal and the beauty of imperfection. Wabi’s form is both futuristic and raw, blending natural textures with a vision of what is to come, creating a unique dialogue between the past and the future.
With its angular shapes and strong, minimalist design, Wabi exudes a sense of purpose and strength. The yakisugi flame technique transforms the wood, adding depth and an almost alien quality to its surface while preserving the essence of its natural origins. The addition of the crescent-shaped element embedded in Wabi’s chest adds a subtle focal point—a symbol of balance and potential, anchoring the sculpture in both the material and the imagined.
Wabi invites contemplation. Its presence suggests progress, transformation, and the possibilities that lie ahead while remaining firmly rooted in the imperfections of the present. This sculpture asks us to imagine a future where the discarded and overlooked are given new life, where simplicity meets innovation, and where art becomes a bridge between the now and the not-yet.
