Into the travertino #8 (Kintsugi)

Work description and interpretation
A section from a Plasticine stratification acts as glue between the two broken parts. Like in a Kintsugi, the pictorial substance insinuates itself into the wound and holds it together, reinvigorating and filling the two broken parts with new meaning.
