Kintsugi Wings

I'm torn apart so I reassembled myself back together with other scrap pieces from the outside now I'm more beautiful than ever

Inspired by 'Kintsugi', Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold. The philosophy behind this is embracing flaws and imperfections in one's self

Another inspiration is 'Life' and 'Growing up', as I see them. We all learn from mistakes in order to grow up and get stronger. Some experiences may leave scars on us, but it's our choice to hide, or to embrace and cherish them.

Sell with physical work of the wings, painted with gold-leaf and gold pigment (frame size 30x40 cm)
