BACK YARD OASIS
Wabi Sabi, “If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that expression could be said to be wabi sabi.”
Andrew Juniper
This back yard oasis was achieved by using several elements in harmony with each other.
A seating area, gravel, turf grass and boulders combine for visual and sensual interest.
