Broken But Still Beautiful

Broken But Still Beautiful is a contemporary light-based artwork that explores the relationship between damage and transformation. Through the use of LED lighting, Perspex, and white neon, the piece transforms fracture into illumination. The physical “break” becomes a source of glow rather than loss.

Referencing the philosophy of Kintsugi — the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold — the work reflects on resilience, perception, and emotional healing. Instead of hiding imperfections, it draws attention to them, inviting viewers to reconsider how beauty is defined.
