KINTSUGI

A clown waiting.
He constructed, especially for this moment, a door.
Together we wait,
for the one we would love to see again.
As he tries to fill the void, he and we, come to realise that the lack will always be part of him and us.
A story about grief, beauty and solace.
The clowning is symbolic of the humor used to lighten the heaviness of life.

.*Kintsugi or the “golden connection” is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold or silver paint. In Japanese aesthetics, the marks of breakage and repair contribute to the beauty of an object
