KINTSUGI // Day 15, 9 April 2020

April 09, 2020 in 2020, Parentheses

Woke up this morning feeling like I was all in pieces on the floor, like I was grieving something I couldn't name.

Today's been an excercise in making like Humpty Dumpty and putting myself together again.

I dig kintsugi, the Japanese art where you take pottery that is fractured and broken and repair it, making it stronger and more beautiful than what it was before.

I'm kintsugi-ing the fck out of myself right now.

Kintsugi : This unique method celebrates each artifact’s unique history by emphasizing its fractures and breaks instead of hiding or disguising them. In fact, Kintsugi often makes the repaired piece even more beautiful than the original, revitalizing it with a new look and giving it a second life.

[Kintsugi 2020 is availalbe as a limited edition studioprint]
