From Wikipedia:
“Kintsugi is the general concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections, visualizing mends and seams as an additive or an area to celebrate or focus on, rather than absence or missing pieces.
Modern artists and designers experiment with the technique as a means of analyzing the idea of loss, synthesis, and improvement through destruction and repair or rebirth.[15] Through an artistic lens, a Kintsugi object is permanently both evidence of crisis and cure.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
Producing art is the appropriate response to the relentless and exponential chaos of our era. I heard an artist speaking about Kintsugi and how this is how we move forward in our broken world. Art is the gold that repairs the cracks of life.
