Ep. 69 - Yee Sookyung's "Translated Vase" (2011)

“It is not about fixing or mending, but about celebrating the
vulnerability of the object and ultimately myself.” - Yee Sookyung
Shattered porcelain is impossible to repair. As impossible as
fully, and accurately, reconstructing the past. But who needs that
pressure? What if, instead of tossing those shards in the dustbin
of history, we acknowledged that the thing will never be what it
once was? Maybe then we appreciate the beauty, and the human
resilience, of what new things it could be, in the now. See the
