Quotes by Kenya Hara (?)

“Because nonbeing longs for being, on occasion it creates a stronger sense of being than being itself.”
― Kenya Hara, White

“White can be attained by blending all the colors of the spectrum together, or through the substraction of ink and all other pigments. In short, it is "all colors" and "no color" at the same time.”
― Kenya Hara, White

“Colors do not exist separately and independently within nature; they are constantly shifting in response to subtle gradations of light. It is language that, magnificently, gives them clear shape.”
― Kenya Hara, White
