Abstracts Issue #1 – Impermanence
The inaugural printed issue of Abstracts presents a curated collection of seven short writings that delve into the theme of impermanence. In an age where everything is accessible, catalogued, and archived, it is the unattainable that stirs within us an insatiable longing. The fleeting sweetness of shaved ice, disappearing with each passing moment under the warmth of the sun. The brief beauty of cherry blossoms, whose delicate blooms last just a week, leaving us to chase their splendour before they fall. The fragility of porcelain and paper — materials so easily broken or worn out — reminding us of the transience that defines their allure.
The beauty of impermanence lies in its gentle passing — ephemeral, yet unforgettable. Perhaps its greatest gift is the reminder to be fully present, to witness its fleeting beauty while it lasts.
