Collector’s Circle Reflection: Beauty in the Cracks

There’s a Japanese art called kintsugi, where broken ceramics are repaired with powdered gold, and the mended lines are not hidden, but exalted.

It’s always moved me. Not just because it’s beautiful, but because it asks us to look directly at what broke and name it as part of the story. As sacred. As something worth honoring.

Light Through the Cracks was painted from that place. Not destruction. Not despair. But the soft grace that arrives when you’ve surrendered what no longer serves, and something quieter, something golden, takes its place.

I think we all carry cracks that glimmer. Places where the light entered when we thought we were unraveling. This piece holds that energy.

A reminder:

you are not unfinished. You are being mended. And it’s beautiful.
