By placing wooden fragments side by side and joining them with simple screws, Kintsugi comes to life: a walnut plate reassembled like a puzzle. This assembly game, made up of small pieces that acquire meaning only when joined together, recalls the ancient Japanese technique of kintsugi: rather than being concealed, the cracks in broken objects are highlighted, emphasizing the value of the handmade gesture that cares for things, restoring their dignity and meaning. The act of assembling the fragments requires patience and precision, without the aid of technology. This process encourages a mental state of calm and acceptance, as the final result takes shape little by little.
