Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. It is done by applying a specific gluing agent, a lacquer, and gold, platinum, or silver dust to the areas of breakage to bring a new level of beauty, born out of imperfection.

It highlights the cracks with gold or silver color material that fills the gaps to showcase the miracle of harmonic coexistence between imperfection and beauty, highlighting the imperfect.

It comes from the concept of wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy centered on the appreciation of imperfection and impermanence as a form of beauty.

For me, kintsugi became a form of healing and self-discovery.

I've noticed that when I do kintsugi I switch to a different state of mind, which is creative, healing, and focused.

The cracks of my soul are filled with creative energy and it changes my perception of things by helping me stay in a moment and appreciate it.

As a famous architect Christopher Alexander notes in his book "The Nature of Order": “Making Wholeness Heals the Maker”, which applies in kintsugi to the fullest extent.
