With Hana Is the New Kintsugi, Karen Swami carries forward the Japanese tradition of kintsugi while radically transforming it. Instead of highlighting cracks with gold, she makes them bloom. Delicate, hand-sculpted porcelain flowers emerge from the fractures, embodying a renewed vision of repair: rather than concealing imperfections, she allows them to blossom.

This collection combines floral abundance with formal minimalism, creating a poetic tension that has become a hallmark of the artist’s work. Where there was once gold, flowers now bloom.
