“toutes les choses sont brisées.
et cette brisure, cette faille, est cause de souffrance. mais c’est la même brisure, la même faille, qui autorise la lumière à s’infiltrer et à rayonner.
et cette lumière nous aidera peut-être a supporter la souffrance que nous causait d’abord la brisure des choses…”
Pascal Bouaziz ” Leonard Cohen”
“all things are broken. and this brokenness, this same flaw is the cause of suffering. but it is this same brokenness, this same flaw that allows light to get in and radiate. and this light may help us to endure the suffering that the brokenness of things initially caused us…”

“Your work is unique and unreproducible. As singular as you are.
The “ beauty of imperfection” makes me think of the concept of wabi wabi. The term evokes simplicity, austerity, and a bit of irregularity. Not inapplicable to your work.
But mostly I perceive yūgen: mysterious grace. Your stellar connections evokes just this and such qualities.”
Ina Angelova
“Your Masterpieces are unique and inspiring. They make a connection with the Divine and the Spirit!”.”
“imperfection is the truth of life and existence, and also the core of art practice and creative work.
new artistic conceptions or fresh possibilities can only be inspired by the action of “ mistakes” and un-conceived, which is the essence of art creation.
if we believe or accept that imperfection is the way of art practice, then we may find enough courage to create newness.
imperfection and the ceramic furnace transmutations contain chance, and that is how w should understand the world, nature and our lives.”
