About the work

A minimalist composition in which fragments of broken ceramic are set into the line of the crack, joining the torn surface. The shards do not restore lost wholeness; they record the very attempt at joining, leaving it open and vulnerable.

The work reveals the fragile nature of repair, where the tear becomes not only a trace of loss but also a form of new connection.
