Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese philosophy that seeks to elevate the beauty and functionality of a broken object. According to this philosophy, a break is not a loss, but a new form of existence.

Certain events in human life can leave deep scars that may be deemed impossible to repair. However overcoming them and fixing the damage with more valuable and stronger bonds, is also a part of life.

Rather than discarding the broken parts of an object, they’re
intentionally accentuated to make them a part of its history. This is a struggle against fragmentation. It doesn’t embrace nothingness. Instead, it highlights the progress from when it was first broken.

Vulnerability is neither denied nor suppressed, and no aspect of life is considered a flaw. It is still valuable, despite not reaching greatness.
