A rainy night in Osaka, Japan.
Reminiscent of Blade Runner.

In Mono no Aware, photographer Gabriella Achadinha and illustrator Marlize Eckard worked together to produce a mixed media series.

Gabriella’s photography of Japan and Seoul has been altered with Marlizes’ acrylic strokes to capture the meaning behind Mono no Aware — an awareness of the impermanence of all experiences and memories, an almost nostalgic, wistful acceptance of that which cannot be forever held onto.
