“In a society that is obsessed with youth, beauty and the relentless pursuit of perfection, and elimination of flaws, I have found that some of the most beautiful things in life are things that have progressed and aged.

It is the flaws themselves that are beautiful, but it takes a shift in perception to see them in a new light, to appreciate what is and appreciate the process of growth itself.

In our society we label this as decay. I prefer to think of it as ripening.”
