Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that embraces the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. It values natural and humble materials, asymmetry, and the passage of time. It encourages a mindful appreciation of the present moment and finding beauty in the ordinary and imperfect aspects of life.

„The Path of the Fossils“ explores the delicate balance between human beings and nature, with a particular focus on the trail connecting Cardiff and Lavernock, and the surrounding area of Penarth Pier. Taking inspiration from Karl Blossfeldt’s philosophy that all forms in geometry are derived from nature, the project captures the ever-changing environment through photographs. Human subjects are deliberately posed to reflect the natural surroundings, creating an awareness of the interdependence between people and their environment. By using this approach, the project aims to highlight the often-overlooked relationship between humans and nature and encourage a deeper appreciation of the natural world.

By drawing attention to the ways in which humans impact the natural world, „The Path of the Fossils“ encourages a deeper appreciation for the importance of environmental conservation. The project serves as a reminder that we are not separate from nature, but rather a part of it, and that our actions can have far-reaching consequences for the delicate balance of our ecosystem.
