Impermanence Shorts
Description: A beautiful and philosophical design titled "IMPERMANENCE." This vintage botanical illustration shows a fallen autumn leaf in a state of beautiful decay, returning to the earth. It is a tribute to the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection and a gentle reminder of the natural cycles of life, decay, and rebirth.
Description: A minimalist design inspired by the fleeting nature of life, time, and existence. The German word Vergänglichkeit reflects the idea that nothing lasts forever — a quiet reminder to appreciate the present moment and embrace change. Created for lovers of philosophy, dark aesthetics, and thoughtful minimalism. Simple. Calm. Timeless.
Description: No name on that hat, no year on that face — just smoke curling up from something that stopped needing to breathe a long time ago. Some things outlast the story behind them. Part of aswIDN, MORTAL collection. Time spares no one. Wear it anyway.

Description: I started this mini-series back in 2016 and, honestly, didn't know what the end result would be. At the time, I was just cranking them because they were fun, and I completed one within a few hours. The majority of the Skulls and Buddhas series are either 4x6 or 5x7 inches. It always seemed to me that the symbolism of skulls and the Buddha (in a meditative pose) is similar. In the practice of sitting meditation, we confront the inescapable reality of impermanence, and the skull often symbolizes mortality. The simple fact that we will have to face our own last breath.

Description: “Mono no aware” is a Japanese idiom from the Heian period. It is an awareness of the impermanence of things, a reality of all things in this world. My inspiration for this work is from a story I read about the Samurai Minamoto Yoshitsune. The Koi in this design were from a long stalled work in progress, so now the impermanence of one design is born into another.
Description: Featuring the inspirational Japanese phrase Mono No Aware, translated as “an empathy toward things” or “a sensitivity to ephemera,” written in red horizontal kanji characters. It's an inspiring gift idea for fans of Asian writing/calligraphy and culture, students and teachers of Buddhism, zen, philosophy and Eastern thought, and those who could use a comforting reminder that we can be moved emotionally by objects, that the reality of life is that things are transient, to appreciate the impermanence of all things.
