Kintsugi

------------------------------------------------------- 
This is "Kintsugi" translating to golden joinery the art form of transforming and repairing broken pottery with lacquer dust mixed with gold powder. This is a longstanding tradition in Japan, a philosophy to treat the broken and repair as a part of the life and history of the object rather then something to hide and discard. The point of this project was to create something beautiful out of something that was broken. The original concept was inspired by the Nerdwriter video called 'Kintsugi: The Art of Embracing Damage' and by artist Jean-Michel Bihorel piece called 'Lorène'.
