The Japanese art of kintsugi is repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with powdered gold. In this piece, a Japanese girl shows her fearlessness and determination. She has been broken, but instead of sitting in a pile of pieces she decides to put herself back together. She took her shattered fragments and mended herself. Now her imperfections reflect to the world. The black background represents the cold and judging world. Her inner light shines through her imperfections, illuminating the world around her.
