“I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things humans make,
I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.”

― Yohji Yamamoto



These are no photos – these are tiny, hyper-realistic and exquisitely detailed oil paintings of semi-precious gemstones and minerals, painted by Toronto-based Carly Waito.
