Karen Swami pushes the boundaries of her practice by exploring the aesthetics of Kintsugi through a series of smoked ceramic decorative art bas-reliefs. Inspired by this Japanese technique, she highlights the natural fractures of the clay, enhancing them with lines of gold—transforming accidents into brilliance and cracks into precious elements.
Her works of French ceramics, whether vases or bas-reliefs, draw from ancient traditions while celebrating the beauty of imperfection and the resilience of matter. Here, Kintsugi is not just a repair but a true rebirth, where each break tells a story and finds new life through light and time.
