Description
The Enso represents the way of Zen as a circle of emptiness and form, void and fullness.
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.
This is part 2 of my Enso Realization Series. As I draw the Enso (zen circle), I go through different phases to come to the realization of the impermanence of all things:
1. Pursuing Perfection - The Enso 円相 is a circle of void and fullness, representing the way of Zen. It is born from emptiness. However its center is full of potency and infinite possibility. In life, we often chase the infinite and pursue perfection, but find that we can never attain it, just like drawing a circle and never ending up with a perfect one.

2. Embracing Imperfection - The Enso is a circle of emptiness and form. 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 embracing imperfection as it is.
3. Appreciating Impermanence - As a new Enso is drawn, there is a fresh start as I let go of the previous one. The transition allows me to appreciate the impermanence of all things.
