Mono no aware is a black-and-white visual diary — a quiet record of daily moments seen along the way.
Shot on mobile through the Leica app, the project follows what appears in ordinary life: light, shadow, texture, movement, a passing mood, a small scene that asks to be noticed.
For me, these images are not about documenting everything. They are about preserving the feeling of a moment before it disappears.
The project is inspired by mono no aware — the Japanese idea of the beauty and gentle sadness of impermanence. It is a way of paying attention to the world as it is: fleeting, imperfect, intimate, alive.
This space gathers those fragments into a visual diary of presence.

I’m also open to thoughtful collaborations — especially projects connected to visual storytelling, place, memory, impermanence, everyday beauty, and the emotional texture of ordinary life.
