Botanical Garden Orchid Show
n traditional Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transcience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete". Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I feel this photo of a dying orchid in the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden is an example of wabi-sabi.

That's a lovely, albeit melancholy aesthetic. And fortunately or unfortunately, it speaks to "life." I think you beautifully captured its spirit here.
