Jagged lines trace
once broken vessels.
Producing strength,
fragile pieces unite
creating new beauty
with humble imperfection.
Made whole once again
by scars of gold.
Kintsugi
Kintsugi, or kintsukuroi, is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with golden lacquer. It is understood that breaks and repairs are a part of the history of the object, a history that makes it more beautiful due to its imperfection. It is also proposed that this philosophy is an adequate metaphor for the human experience. Want to know more? Visit https://artincontext.org/kintsugi/
