‘MY_KINTSUGI’ by
IRINA
RELOAD - 28 OCT 2023
"About 10 years ago I did my first ISM, since then I had not participated in something like this on the web again... and after so many years. I thought it would be interesting to return to show the changes in my body. Not only the years have contributed to these changes, a few months ago I had surgery and now my belly is covered in scars. It's still early and I'm sure the scars will soften, but I wanted to capture this change in my body in some way and embrace it, sharing it to normalize that bodies change and it's okay to also appreciate those defects over time. Somehow I feel the Kintsugi in my body, a Japanese repair method that celebrates the history of each object by emphasizing its fractures instead of hiding or disguising them, transforming it into an object even more beautiful than the original."
