No one, regardless of social status, race or gender makes it out of life without wounds. At some point, everyone is broken and how we treat this brokenness within ourselves and others makes all the difference. I love New York city. It's as though every culture is richly represented in one place. Maybe more than any other location, the subway provides the perfect opportunity to people watch. People line up next to one another like the tiles on the walls in the under ground tunnels. What if everyone's story was portrayed on a simple tile... would any tile be presented without a blemish? Be Kind, is my attempt to capture these stories with Kintsugi art, a philosophy that makes no attempt to hide damage, instead it illuminates the repairing process using gold which gives it more value than before it was broken. What if brokenness was just an opportunity to fill lives with empathy, grace & kindness? What if kindness was the gold you have to offer the person next to you?
