"Mono No Aware"
The title is a Japanese phrase that translates approximately as “beautiful sadness” and refers to the impermanence of all things. The macaque or snow monkey depicted here spend most of their lives in the snow and are native to the high altitudes of Japan. I wanted to illustrate a contemplative figure, perhaps in a state of mono no aware.
