Statement

What is considered beautiful is often imperfect or impermanent. Discarded, in disrepair and neglected objects suggest the transience of all things and the passage of time, but all embody a distinctive beauty.

The Japanese have an expression for this concept. They call it wabi sabi. 

In Finding Beauty in Imperfection, many of the images were photographed in salvage yards, locations where the subjects hold their own memories—their own individual pasts. Objects, some broken and all abandoned, become ambiguous and evocative, and some combine with elements of Nature that engulf them—like growing vines or fallen leaves. Everything is impacted by the passage of time, and the influence of Nature and wabi sabi is immanent.
