Kate Lionis , Kintsugi (PORTRAIT 2022)

This is part of my fine art series “Kintsugi”. The idea of mending yourself after being broken and the process of mending yourself create a more beautiful version than at the beginning. This idea was born through a personal tragedy during the global pandemic. After being broken and left isolated to mend my life I started to transform by reconnecting with myself, listen to the simplicity of nature and connecting with who I truly am. I slowly but surely, I found the strength and tools to put my life back together, connect to myself in a more meaningful way and heal. In doing so I found gold within myself and turned a horrible situation into a valuable experience.
