The Embodiment of Imperfection focuses on the preservation of clothing, with Kintsugi as the basis for inspiration. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage using gold lacquer. The notion of preserving objects and avoiding wasteful habits is closely tied to the topic of sustainability. The upcycling of clothing shares similar ideas to Kintsugi as it reinstates the idea of repairing objects and improving their current condition.
