Kintsugi

Kintsugi does not restore a bowl to its original state. It does not pretend the breaking did not happen. It acknowledges the breaking. Makes it visible. Makes it permanent.

And says: what the bowl is now includes this history. The crack is not a reduction. It is an addition. What is added is the story of having been broken and continuing anyway.
