Minimalism doesn't mean photographing tiny things, but rather having very little in the photo. Essentially, just the main subject with nothing around it. That "nothing" is sometimes called "negative space," and it can be compositionally worked with in its own right.
When something is minimal, or exists in "empty space," it also means it can be hard to see. How do you perceive emptiness? How can you see something that isn't there?
The photos I'm offering today were captured spontaneously and by chance. I happened to glimpse X from airplane contrails, nearly stepped into a heart-shaped puddle, and accidentally spotted a tiny flower in a concrete underpass surface. But chance favors the prepared.
