Description

This piece was crafted using an aluminum base frame and clay, which was then painted and glazed. It symbolizes the strength to heal and emerge stronger than before. During the creation process, the clay cracked as it shrank around the base. While figuring out how to repair it, discovered the Japanese pottery technique of Kintsugi, where cracked pottery is mended with gold paste. This method not only healed the cracks but made it more beautiful.
