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: "Everything flows and nothing stays. Three views of one river with ever-changing particles, set above a wide current, give visual form to Heraclitus' insight that permanence is an illusion and change is the only constant. Heraclitus and the doctrine of flux: the same river seen today, tomorrow and always, never with the same water. Panta rhei, everything flows, with the fragment No one steps into the same river twice. For lovers of ancient Greek philosophy, Stoics and process thinkers, philosophy teachers and students, and anyone who embraces change. A meaningful gift for new beginnings and graduations.

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.
