Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken objects with gold, has a deep symbolic meaning.
It is a metaphor for resilience, for the acceptance of scars and personal growth through adversity
We live in an era of disposability, speed, and a love for the new. We are accustomed to the idea that if an object breaks, we simply gather the shards and throw them away. It is rare that we attempt to piece it back together; and when we do, we try to do so by hiding the fractures and cracks that reveal its lack of integrity.
According to the technique of Kintsugi, from a wound it is possible to restore life to what has been damaged, creating a new form from which an even more precious story emerges: It represents the metaphor of the fractures, crises, and changes that an individual may encounter throughout life.
From imperfection and a wound, a greater form of aesthetic and inner perfection can arise. The uniqueness of this practice lies in the fact that the object is not repaired by hiding the cracks, but rather these are emphasized with gold.
The first painting we present introduces the show by starting to represent “kintsugi”: every crack, every challenge overcome, instead of being hidden “shines with gold,” transforming difficulties into signs of resilience and beauty; our wounds have not broken us but have added character to our story.
