Ensō Collection

What is an Ensō?

The Ensō captures a snapshot of the emotion and creative mind in a particular moment. This makes each Ensō entirely unique.

I have always had a crowded mind. I don’t think I’m alone in having the majority of my showers comprised of primarily hypothetical and imaginary situations. Practicing meditation and breathing techniques was short-lived. Over time, with wavering discipline and a new view on stress, I have been better with managing my mind rather than letting it manage me.

When I learned about the Japanese practice of making an ensō ring, that it wasn’t just a circle but symbolic of a moment in time and state of mind, I felt a connection. While the practice is traditionally supposed to reflect one’s mind made free and clear to be creative, I think there is something to be said for the expression of the chaotic, even cluttered, creative mind.

Evolving the Ensō

Each Ensō circle is poured in one continuous gesture. Evolving tradition with a modern take, T.G.Novy adds texture and contrasting sheens to give each ring a distinctive landscaped backdrop.
