About the Artwork

Have you heard about the centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery called KINTSUGI, also known as KINTSUKUROI, wherein a fractured ceramic is rejoined using gold? Did you know this Japanese philosophy of "finding beauty in the flawed" also exists in Philippine culture?

Many years ago, Bicolanos believed the stars that glitter the sky every night were a goddess. The goddess possesses such beauty and innocence that anyone who looks up to the stars will be reminded that broken things can still be beautiful.

Using intense contrasting colors, sharp lines, and energetic shapes, this artwork creates a dynamic and vivid sensation, evoking a mood of energy and transformation.
