The bowl smashed into two pieces and needed to be put back together

I first glued the pieces together and then embellished the crack to conceal the damage with gold powder.

My mum had made this bowl and apart from being an object, it is a sentimental memory of her artwork.

I think objects are like people — they change and break or get injured over time. They need attention and care for a prolonged life. The act of repair is healing to the person and object.
