Kintsugi ~ Broken and Beautiful
The word Kintsugi translates as “golden joinery.” It's a method of repairing broken ceramics with lacquer mixed with gold. The aim is to highlight the repair, making it a feature, thereby enhancing the piece and rendering it more beautiful and unique than before.
Kintsugi asks us to embrace our flaws and brokenness and accept them as a part of our story. Let’s face it, life's challenges can break us. We can choose to remain broken or we can mend, heal, become stronger and even more appealing.
