Mended in Gold
Soft Pastel on Canson Velvet with Gold Foil
Framed to 11 x 14"*
 
Mended in Gold explores fracture not as failure, but as transformation. Inspired by the philosophy of kintsugi, the piece reveals a figure split open by experience and held together by luminous seams of gold. The closed eye suggests inward reflection, while the gilded breaks mark moments of healing that remain visible rather than hidden.
 
Rendered in soft pastel, the work balances vulnerability and strength; delicate textures meeting deliberate, radiant lines. The painting honors the beauty found in repair, asking the viewer to consider how damage, memory, and resilience shape identity.
