Anatomy of Flow

Anatomy of Flow explores the porosity between body and landscape, where a personal approach to Kintsugi translates pain into a scar of light.

Emerging from a winter immersion in the Japanese Alps, the landscape is reduced to black lines of bare trees, punctuated only by a river cutting through silence. Beneath this apparent serenity, abrupt changes in altitude and persistent headaches intensified a sense of internal pressure, like a turbulent inner flow.

Through the manual application of gold leaf onto the frozen river, the gesture draws from the Japanese practice of repairing fractures with gold, externalizing an invisible fracture through matter.
