"Kintsugi or kintsukuroi is a Japanese technique originating in the 15th century that involved restoring broken pottery using a special lacquer and gold dust.


  When something has suffered damage or has a history, it becomes more beautiful. The result is that the pottery is not only repaired but is even stronger than the original. Instead of trying to hide the flaws and cracks, they are accentuated and celebrated, as they have now become the strongest part of the piece.

Acceptance of the inevitable, the imperfection, the mutability, the poignancy in the flaws, is in the background of this philosophy."


  Using this Eastern philosophy as a basis, this project is presented. A series of portraits defragmented and at the same time united by a fine golden thread, and where each of the protagonists carries the coordinates of six places where they have been able to feel and adopt a real mutation in their lives. At the same time, in each of them, a drop of their blood is incorporated, (not only to humanize the portrait), but also to sustain the idea that "no one is an island complete in itself", and that despite the cracks and the directionality of each one, we all possess and move forward on the same flow.
