🌸 Artist’s Note

I found this small leaf plate among a collection of handmade ceramics in Japan. Its gentle shape and mossy glaze reminded me of quiet walks through the forest after rain. When it broke, the cracks felt like branches stretching toward light - so I chose to mend it with brass, evoking the warmth of sunlight meeting earth.
