Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the pieces with gold. Gives broken objects a new life and teaches that a break can be lived as a unique event that can be seen as a precious experience.
Inspired by this unique concept as well as the upcoming Olympics Games in Tokyo 2020, I created a series of digital mosaic artworks.
