The work depicts a porcelain woman, broken and restored with gold threads, adorned with delicate blue flowers. The whole piece exudes an atmosphere of purity, resilience, and visual poetry, inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi (not Chinese, but Japanese), the technique of repairing broken ceramics with gold, highlighting the scars as part of the piece's beauty.

This series is a visual hymn to fragility, the beauty of imperfection, and the resilience of the soul. Inspired by the ancient Japanese technique of kintsugi, which celebrates golden scars as witnesses to history and transformation, the female figures depicted here are bodies of living porcelain: perfect in their imperfection, radiant in their cracks.

The ivory-white body becomes a delicate field where cobalt blue patterns flourish, evoking the tradition of the blue and white Chinese porcello.
Each crack, rather than being hidden, is embroidered with golden threads that crisscross the body like a secret map of healed wounds, accepted memories, embraced experiences.

The crown of blue flowers adorning their heads acts as a symbol of rebirth and renews the connection between nature and the human condition. These are not mere ornaments: they are crowns of life, of persistence, of dignity regained after the fall.

Aesthetically, the work engages with sculptural classicism, oriental decorative porcelain, and a contemporary sensitivity toward human vulnerability. The delicacy of the postures, the shimmering texture of the "ceramic skin," and the emotional depth contained in the minimal gestures create an ethereal and powerful atmosphere.

More than an aesthetic representation, this series is a statement: we are more beautiful for having been broken and repaired.
