The Golden Thread, a collection of twenty six paintings, came to me during a moment of mindfulness. Time spent healing from trauma helped me realize how fractures connect us. Instead of hiding these wounds, we should celebrate them. Kintsugi, the concept of highlighting or emphasizing imperfections, led me to the Golden Thread. The places where we are broken are signs of what we’ve overcome. We are the perfect imperfections as shown by the Golden Thread and all it connects.
