The Art & Beauty of Imperfection (36)
jono7: kintsugi is used in ceramics.
The kintsugi technique suggests many things. We shouldn’t throw away broken objects. When an object breaks, it doesn’t mean that it is no more useful.
This is the essence of resilience. Each of us should look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive way, learn from negative experiences, take the best from them and convince ourselves that exactly these experiences make each person unique, precious.

Very true indeed! The kintsugi technique suggests many things. We shouldn’t throw away broken objects. When an object breaks, it doesn’t mean that it is no more useful.
This is the essence of resilience. Each of us should look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive way, learn from negative experiences, take the best from them and convince ourselves that exactly these experiences make each person unique, precious.

But...how many people look at life in this way?
Many choose to play victim all their lives instead of seeing their traumas as experiences and life lessons.

hiya danielai hear ya...
i can go from zero to victim in a heart beat....it's something i have to really watch.
and even when i am watching...my ego can get the best of me. many times, it's been a retrospective...
i am constantly learning, so that i don't live life with a victim mentality, or worse...put myself in situations of re-victimization. lucky for me...i am consciously aware and grateful for the many, many blessings i have received in this life. i honestly don't know how i got so lucky.
i not only use kintsugi in my art, but also in my thinking.

Nice to hear from you again Jono..i hear ya...

i not only use kintsugi in my art, but also in my thinking.
I'm afraid the role of "Victim" is part of the Disempowerment triangle..the other two being the Rescuer and the Persecutor.
The majority of people will have played one of those roles...and probably the other two as well.
But...the idea is to EXIT the triangle by dropping the 3 roles (there are techniques for that!).
But...often times...some will tend to come back only momentarily.
Why???
Because we're always being tested!
But...as long as we're aware of it and have tools to deal with it..then it shouldn't be any problem.
Hope that the Kintsugi helps you to achieve that?

daniela777: "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder as does perfection and imperfection".
Take nature, for example, a landscape in which we see beauty is in fact chaos – trees, rocks, flowers scattered randomly, with no plan or design, is the beauty that is seen.
For those of you who are not familiar with the word, Wabi-sabi is an entire aesthetic universe, it is a holistic but utterly simple view of the world, a world where the beauty of things is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
The notion of wabi–sabi is deeply rooted in Japanese culture since ancient times.
The word ‘wabi’, refers to the form of things (architecture and design).
The word, ‘sabi’ alludes to the spirit of things, meaning ‘taking pleasure in that which is old, faded and lonely”- It is history on display.
Wabi-sabi is the concept of spiritual depth and mystical simplicity. Its history makes it unique.
Additionally, it teaches us that there is a marvellous honesty in the natural process of ‘ageing’ and ‘deterioration’, a moral message that can help us cope with ‘getting older’, coping with loss, and ultimately accepting death.
It is mostly in our everyday lives, where wabi-sabi can acquire powerful importance. The concept could be a tool to help individuals overcome their perfectionism.
Could it help artists or even daily people emerge out of their creativity block?
Hence, wabi-sabi can urge us to draw even if we have no particular talent in drawing, to sing even if we are not endowed with a melodic voice, to write even if we leave our text unfinished
Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect. The wabi-sabi notion opens our eyes up to a whole new universe, where nothingness matters simply because it’s beautiful.
All we have to do is embrace it; in our own uniquely imperfect but beautiful way.
"There is a crack, a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in". (Leonard Cohen)

The link at top works for me but something weird happened.
Anyway it looks exactly like a modern minimalist painting. It was treasured by a warlord in the 1700s in Japan.
I copied a few interesting translated works on Japanese aesthetics, Ill send you the titles , may be hard to find. I love issa and basho but cant really appreciate them without knowing language.
Your treatment of the void and wabi sabi were very interesting. I also like some Bhutto.
The books I copied were difficult. The net and u tube have wonderful insight.
Its a profound and different way of perceiving the world.

Can you do me a favor? Click on the empty box on my post above. Does it open to the picture?
Oddly, it does for me...
But I’m not sure if it’s because the original is on my phone and google drive.
Thanks!!
I´ve just tried it but NO picture!! It opens to my email address???
I think you should upload it to your blog pictures first, and then copy & paste the link here???
