I find beauty in imperfection and transience. I am fascinated by the ephemeral nature of beauty \u2013 the quietly elated, bittersweet feeling of having been witness to the dazzling circus of life \u2013 knowing that none of it can last. It\u2019s basically about being both saddened by and appreciative of transience.  You become aware of how significant those moments are!
