Emptiness

Arving Wu

“Emptiness,” is a traditional Asian philosophical mindset embraced by Buddhism, Zen Buddhism and Taoism, indicating a transitional empty condition waiting to be filled with content and instilled with creative power. “Emptiness” inspires contemporary design as an innovative ideal not merely implying simplicity of form but also providing a space within which the audience’s imagination can roam free without boundaries, providing a sensory experience and a rediscovery of life. Through the intentional reduction of content, this project harmonizes both abstract and sensory media, bridges vision and sound in communication and generates a poetic experience that guides audiences to find and experience a liberating sense of emptiness in design. Into this void flows our imagination, and out of it flows limitless possibility, design is sustained by this even flow.
