Theme: 

"Wabi-sabi: Beauty in Imperfection" invites artists to explore the profound elegance found in the imperfect, the transient, and the incomplete. This theme celebrates the natural beauty of the flawed and the weathered, embracing simplicity, asymmetry, and the passage of time. Artists are encouraged to express how imperfections can enhance rather than detract, revealing a deeper, more authentic beauty that resonates with the essence of life itself. Through your work, capture the grace in the humble and the extraordinary in the ordinary.
