12" x 12" x 0.8" acrylic and gold leaf on canvas.
 
Inspired by the Japanese practice of mending broken porcelain and pottery with real gold to make it even stronger and more valuable after it’s been broken, this piece also reflects the importance of showing grace—to yourself and others.
 
It reminds us that grace, so often perceived as delicate and quiet, is a powerful strength, allowing us to accept our imperfections and the imperfections of those around us with understanding and kindness. In offering forgiveness and patience, we create space for healing and connection.
 
You are not defined by your past mistakes or hardships. Each time you choose grace over judgment, you add a golden thread to the tapestry of your life, weaving a story of compassion, resilience, and beauty.
