In his recent photographic works from Japan, Paul Cupido took the concept of mukayu as one of his spiritual guidelines. The concept crossed Cupido’s path at a small ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn), where the term was explained and the classical Daoist philosopher Zhuangzi cited to provide an apt example: “An empty room will be filled with light because of its emptiness.”
