Human Kintsugi

In the japanese Kintsugi/Kintsukuroi the broken china is mend with gold. The visible scar enhances the energy generated by the confrontation of the extremes: straight and curve, new and old, small and large, intact and repaired, yin and yang. Some human are Kintsugi. Decorating their scars is the minimum I can do ! Work in progress since 2015 - http://charleslemaire.eu/Travaux/kintsugi.html
