Growing up With Death
A Visual Memoir
I am broken in a thousand whys
Kintsugi (or kintsukuroi) is a Japanese method for repairing broken ceramics with a special lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum.
The philosophy behind the technique is to recognize the history of the object and to visibly incorporate the repair into the new piece instead of disguising it. The process usually results in something more beautiful than the original.
Kintsugi in progress
this was supposed to be a gift. When it arrived from China to NYC it was broken.
A Buddha broken = a broken Buddha
I took it as I sign.
It was time for me to either fix myself
or let me be....broken
