Détroit Intérieur

This monumental work celebrates fracture as a place of transformation.

Standing 140 cm tall, this jar, finished in a sovereign Klein blue, was broken and then restored through kintsugi. The gold veins running across its surface do not seek to erase the event; they honor its memory, extend the accident, and transform the wound into a form of writing.

At its center, an amethyst-colored glass geode passes through the form like a precious apparition, as though the material, once opened, were finally revealing what it held most secretly within: an inner treasure, a depth that remained invisible until rupture.

The work unfolds entirely within this fertile tension, between the majesty of the form and its vulnerability, between the brilliance of what is seen and the richness of what lies buried. Here, kintsugi does not merely celebrate repair; it affirms that through fracture, a work may reach a higher degree of presence, intensity, and singularity.

Here, opening is no longer a loss, but an access.
The break becomes light.
And the wound, transfigured, becomes a place of revelation.
