The story is like life itself. It was beautiful, created with thoughts about happy childhood moments when my dad and I made origami. Two years ago a gallery borrowed it to offer it to clients and it came back completely scratched... When I pointed it out to the owner, she was surprised. Well, you don't mess with gallery owners, so it was simply returned to storage and withdrawn from sale. I felt very sorry for the piece. Then I talked to a friend about kintsugi, the Japanese philosophy of repairing things with "golden "scars", and I thought that this is how I wanted to fix this memory. Since the image itself is gold, the scars are copper. For me, after these ordeals, it did not lose its value, but actually gained it; but I realize that it will not be easy to find a recipient who will buy the this kind of painting, so I am discounting it by 50% - maybe it will find a loving home after all?
Jak dla mnie po tych przejściach nie stracił na wartości, ale wręcz zyskał; ale zdaję sobie sprawę że niełatwo będzie znaleźć odbiorcę który kupi obraz po przejściach, więc przeceniam go 50% - może jednak znajdzie kochający dom?
