Enso Zen
The Enso represents the way of Zen as a circle of vast space, lacking nothing and holding nothing in excess. Form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form. Drawn in one fluid, expressive stroke, the enso represents the state of mind of the artist . The black, white and shades of grey embodied in the brushstroke represent my mixed emotions and feelings. The enso circle is born from emptiness. However its center is full of potency and infinite possibility. One dip of ink, one fluid brush stroke, I experience the profound changes and limitless possibilities. As the brush trails off into nothingness, leaving an open circle, it is also the acceptance of imperfection as it is. Inside the circle is the Chinese word "zen" Artist: Tai Oi Yee Website: oystudio.com
