Shattering to Mattering
Kintsugi: Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. A wound becomes a thing of beauty.
Embrace the pain. Mend. What's broken is gold.
A word from the director.
I experience the loss of my son, Gio, everyday. From his first breath to his first steps..., Every milestone—his precious discovery of his own shadow: "Why is light, Daddy?" At just seven years old, he penned: "Words and letters are idea nets that catch poems." Gio's death leaves an unfathomable void, a grief that rewrites my DNA. In grappling with this loss, I confront the very essence of life itself, questioning its fundamental truths. This grief is immeasurable, shattering... belief systems challenged, the empirical explored - the spiritual and the scientific. The very foundation of life itself.
