I just recalled, a reference to emptiness as a design concept comes from Kenya Hara, who was the chief designer of the Muji brand.
I read an interview of him years ago and it's stuck with me ever since. I use it in my own writing to talk about how inertia existing within whatever we are currently doing and how we have to step away from it to make space for newness.
Many articles available online talking about his theories on emptiness. Highly suggest searching for some.

Your topic "emptiness" has (finally) persuaded me to join the group. My first image is published, I think. ( link: https://ludwig.aminus3.com/image/2025-01-15.html )
Hi Ludwig, glad you decided to share some pics on Aminus3. I like your selection of this minimalist portrait.
Thank you, Am3. I hope to reach out with more of my photography as time goes by.

Thanks for the recommendation Joe, will search it out.
Something for the emptiness prompt
Looking forward to seeing! You can share the image in Substack Notes with a tag back to us.
Thanks much for the mention!
One more try. I am not sure how to post photos to your prompt for emptiness. This is my submission of my dogs contemplating a void.
