ENSŌ

Ensō is the echo of a moment fully lived. It is drawn when the self steps aside, allowing emptiness to move the hand. The circle holds both form and formlessness, a fleeting trace of clarity that fades even as it appears, leaving behind the quiet truth of now.

“All these forests or branches were born here, they belong to this land and that is exactly why I use them. It is a branch, for example, that has long since ceased to live. It has already dried up or died, but its bend has survived. Its bend has a cause just like the life of a human being. It is not linear, it branches out, it crosses my path, a shoot comes forth, it seeks the sun, it seeks other things. I converse with each branch and admire it. That’s the way I relate to the material of my work. It’s a very deep relationship. My feeling is like this plant matter that holds the power of life and its beauty. Once I create something, because of that, it doesn’t belong to me anymore.”
