Wabi Sabi

 
"The fractures on a ceramic bowl don't represent the end of that object's life, but rather an essential moment in its history. The flaws of its shape aren't hidden from inspection, but emblazoned with golden significance."

and

"Repair requires transformation. The pristine is less beautiful than the broken. .....[T]he shape of us is impossible to see until its fractured, until a wound like a crack runs its length."
