金継ぎ (Kintsugi)

Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi (金継ぎ), this watercolor painting portrays a flower vase with delicate gold cracks that speak to the beauty found in imperfection. Just as kintsugi celebrates the healing process by highlighting flaws with gold, this piece reflects the idea that brokenness and repair can be more beautiful than perfection. The golden veins running through the vase symbolize resilience, transformation, and the quiet strength in embracing our scars, making it a testament to the beauty of life's journey.
