Kintsugi is a pottery technique. When something breaks, like a vase, they glue it back together with melted gold. Instead of making the cracks invisible, they make them beautiful. To celebrate the history of the object. What it’s been through.
It is based on the belief that something broken is stronger and more beautiful because of its imperfections, the history attached to it, and its altered state.
Thank you Avijit sir for all your patience to bear my tantrums while you guided me to work on this.
