“The traditional Japanese technique of kintsugi  (kin – gold, tsugi – repair) is used in this  work as a comment about the consumer society.  It is a reminder that broken objects can  be fixed, and their new form could inspire respect  rather than contempt. The cracks are  visible marks of the object’s long history and  endow it with unique beauty.”
