The Art of Simplicity
“ Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify. ”
I’m a big fan of good design, one that's simple, efficient, and serves it’s desired function. This affinity for design has led me to seek it not just artistically, but in many different areas of life as well. For me, it’s been in my own lifestyle design - finding my artistic expression in the simplicity of life.
The idea is simple, but the actual execution is hard. Simplicity boils down to the art of making the complicated simple, which goes against our most basic human tendencies. Our lives have become perfect examples of this. A lot of times we feel more like we’re chasing life, than living it. It’s only when we start peeling back the facade of busyness and complexity that we see the simplicity of our own needs.
The question then becomes not how much can I get, but how much do I need.
