Kintsugi is the Japanese practice of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and powdered gold, treating damage as part of an object’s history rather than something to hide. This conceptual session translates that idea into portraiture through porcelain-like makeup, fractured lines, gold accents, mirrors, brushes, and carefully controlled expressions.
