Connected

Modern Kintsugi Vessel | Brass Repair

Connected is a meditation on fracture and unity—where each break becomes part of a larger, living composition. Branching lines of brass trace the vessel’s history, transforming damage into a quiet, cohesive whole.

Originally a traditional Japanese tokkuri (sake server), this piece has been carefully restored using the modern Kintsugi technique. Each fragment is rejoined with cashew lacquer and finished with brass powder, allowing the repair to become the defining gesture.

Now existing between function and sculpture, the vessel invites stillness—best suited for dry botanicals or as a standalone object.
