Less is Not Empty: Every Decision is Seen

A space with very few items, but every element is arranged. There are only five or six items in the image: a wall, an opening, a countertop, a long bench, and an object. Precisely because of the small number, the position, size, and proportion of each item become evident: the length of the bench has a simple ratio to the length of the wall, the center of the opening aligns with the floor division, and the object is placed in a specific position on the countertop. Nothing is placed casually. Avoid: clearing out the space until there is no content to see, allowing the few objects to be placed randomly, using elements with arbitrary sizes and proportions, assuming that leaving blank space equals minimalism.

一個東西極少但每個元素都經過安排的空間。畫面裡只有五六樣東西:一道牆、一個開口、一段檯面、一張長凳、一件器物。正因為數量少,每一樣的位置、尺寸與比例都變得明顯:長凳的長度與牆的長度成簡單的比例、開口的中心對齊地坪的分割、器物放在檯面上一個明確的位置。沒有任何一件是隨手放的。避免:把空間清空到沒有可看的內容、讓少數的物件位置隨意、使用尺寸比例任意的元素、以為留白就等於極簡。
