ALTERNATE SIDES ART PROJECT // MAMÁ
It has been roughly a year since my mother had the last of 3 brain surgeries. Neither before nor after have I ever seen her waiver from optimism and faith.In a recent conversation with some amazing fellow artists, I was reminded of the Japanese practice of kintsugi. Broken pottery is repaired with gold so that the breaks are accentuated, highlighting the beauty in imperfection.“Kintsugi…is a reminder to stay optimistic when things fall apart and to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life.”
