ART OF KINTSUGI: "IS THE JAPANESE ART OF REPAIRING BROKEN POTTERY WITH LACQUER DUSTED OR MIXED WITH POWDERED GOLD, SILVER, OR PLATINUM, A METHOD SIMILAR TO THE MAKI-E TECHNIQUE. AS A PHILOSOPHY, IT TREATS BREAKAGE AND REPAIR AS PART OF THE HISTORY OF AN OBJECT, RATHER THAN SOMETHING TO DISGUISE." MY MODERN MET

MIND MAP


iMPERFECTiON CONCEPT: Imperfection is inspired by Wabi-sabi, a traditional Japanese aesthetic and philosophy based on appreciating beauty in the imperfect. It is about accepting the temporary nature of life in all things and about promoting individuality. Majority of people see scars, bruises, cracks, birth defects as ugly. In my eyes I see them as beautiful as if they were perfect or even more and I wanted to celebrate that. For my project I looked at many elements that relate to wabi sabi, but the one that caught my eye the most was Kintsugi, a japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The reasoning behind this art is keeping an object around even after it has broken and as a justification of kintsugi itself, highlighting the cracks and repairs as simply an event in the life of an object rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage.
