Description
“There’s a Japanese art called kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
Instead of hiding the cracks, kintsugi highlights them, creating a more beautiful and unique piece. This philosophy, called “wabi-sabi,” values imperfections as part of an object’s history and strength. It reflects the idea that our own scars, physical or emotional, add to our uniqueness and worth.
Humans are indeed fragile, yet we possess an incredible resilience that allows us to recover, adapt, and even grow stronger. Physically, our bodies can break under pressure and illnesses take their toll. But the body has built-in systems to heal. This dual capacity to break and then rebuild stronger is part of what makes us human.
Every healed fracture, both physical and emotional, is a testament to our ability to endure and grow. It’s in this process of breaking and mending that we not only learn about our limits but also our immense potential. Each scar tells a story of survival and resilience, becoming a part of who we are.”
