We toss away a bowl, teapot, or exquisite vase furiously and sadly when it falls and smashes into a thousand pieces. However, there is an option: a Japanese technique that accentuates and intensifies the breaks, so increasing the value of the shattered object. It's known as kintsugi. This ancient Japanese technique employs a precious metal — liquid gold, silver, or lacquer sprinkled with powdered gold – to bind together and highlight the cracks in a shattered porcelain object. The process entails connecting pieces and providing them with a new, polished appearance. Because of the unpredictability with which ceramics smashes and the uneven patterns generated that is amplified by the use of metals, each mended piece is unique. Because of the distinct fractures generated when the item breaks, as if they were scars that leave different traces on each of us, this approach allows for the creation of authentic and always unique pieces of art, each with its own narrative and charm.
