Program Title: Kintsugi: Beautifully Broken

This is the story of something broken. The story of Kintsugi - becoming whole. The Japanese philosophy which finds beauty in transience and flaws. A "Kintsugi heart" represents the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, serving as a metaphor for healing brokenness, embracing flaws, and finding beauty in scars. It symbolizes that mended hearts are stronger, more beautiful, and more resilient than before they were broken. By joining pieces together not with glue, but with gold; we discover we are stronger, more beautiful - together.
