Descrição

Komorebi is a Japanese word meaning “sunlight filtering through the trees”.

This piece was commissioned by a collector who has family from both Japan and the United Kingdom. She wanted a piece that served as a reminder of her family and heritage.

The shape of this piece is based on the aerial view of the United Kingdom (minus Northern Ireland). Meanwhile, the design was inspired by Kintsugi. Kintsugi, meaning “golden joinery”, is a traditional Japanese art form that uses gold to repair broken pottery. This repairs the brokenness in a way that makes the object more beautiful, and even more strong than it was prior to being broken.
