All These Broken Pieces Make Something Beautiful
This piece is inspired by my own mother. It incorporates Kintsugi, a Japanese pottery technique where broken pottery is repaired with a gold lacquer. The piece is considered even more precious after it is repaired. The pottery's history is not considered something that should be hidden, but something that should be celebrated. Over the past few years, my own mom and I have gone through a lot. Our family has shattered and broken in ways that I never thought were possible. This piece is a reminder that those broken pieces, when put back together, can make something even more beautiful and valuable than it was before. In life, it is guaranteed that we will break. What is magical and beautiful is the beauty that can come after healing. I know that healing is possible, even though sometimes it may take a lot of time and hard work. All of those broken pieces truly can make something beautiful.
