Kintsugi highlights the pottery imperfections
 
Translated from the Japanese as "golden repair", the ancient art of Kintsugi is the original up-cycling technique; broken or even shattered pottery is mended using gold powder over resin. The resulting pieces are made useful again and transformed into something even more beautiful than the originals, highlighting strength through fragility. Perhaps a philosophy for life we could all embrace?
