About
Sonja Kanno’s art is deeply influenced by the ancient Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which sees beauty in imperfections, spontaneous irregularities, and in the impermanent nature of life: the fleeting moment, the changes in nature through the seasons, the natural cycle of growth and decay.
