Enso is a Japanese word meaning “circle” and a concept strongly associated with Zen. It symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and the void. In Zen Buddhist painting, enso symbolizes a moment when the mind is free to simply let the the body/spirit create.

Some artists may paint enso with an opening, which may express various ideas.  For example, it may express that imperfection is an essential and inherent aspect of existence.  This is the core aspect of the Japenese aesthetic: Fukinsei — the denial of perfection.

In a culture where thinness is too often equated with physical attractiveness, success, and happiness, nearly everyone has dealt with issues regarding the effect their weight and body shape can have on their self-image. However, eating disorders are not about dieting or vanity; they're complex psychological disorders in which an individual's eating patterns are developed and then habitually maintained in an attempt to cope with other problems in their life.
