When less is more - The Japanese concept of Ma (間) describes a pause in time, interval or empty void in space.

This negative space aesthetic is seen across cultural arts:

In ikebana (flower arrangements)
In sumi-e (woodblock painting)
In haiku (short poems)

The list goes on..

Take a moment and look around. Where do you notice moments of space and time? And in these moments, are you growing?
