A Message for the New Year Pedro Bonatto

Today, the day before the new decade begins, I wanted to share with you another photo from the Art of Precious Scars series, created in collaboration with make up artist Olena Al. It was inspired by Kintsugi, a Japanese pottery practice where you repair broken artifacts with gold to ‘glue’ the broken parts. The idea is that the object becomes more beautiful exactly because it was broken and put back together.

In this photo, featuring model @wolf.rylee, we thought about the concept of mending a broken heart. I was looking at the photo earlier today, in the context of new beginnings, and thought that we usually focus on the ‘broken’ part of our lives, and not on finding the gold to put it back together.
