"Golden Trace"
It's a gilded new beginning. "Kintsugi 金継ぎ" comes from Japan and means "golden repair". It is also called kintsukuroi (金繕い), literally Kin is gold and Tsugi is repair or joinery.

When a precious bowl, plate or vase falls and breaks into pieces, it is put back together. Not without visible cracks, that would be impossible.Every break is unique and instead of repairing the broken bowl like new, the 400-year-old technique actually highlights the break
"scars" as a part of the design.The break surfaces are not only patched up with special lacquer varnish, but also with gold dust. The breaks look particularly precious, the whole ceramic piece is new and different, it shines even. Every restored parts shows;

; I am broken in different places.
I've survived a lot. It took time and effort to become whole again, to be able to be filled again.But that's exactly what makes me unique.
We could see the Kintsugi as a metaphor for healing ourselves and it teaches us an important lesson
