Shattered Phases, Mending Graces

"Shattered Phases, Mending Graces," by Tabria Williford of Tawa Threads

8"x10" art print on matte paper

Part of Tabria's "Colorful Collage Series"

From the artist: "Inspired by the Japanese art form of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, Shattered Phases, Mending Graces reflects the journey of healing and transformation after relationships that no longer serve a healthy purpose.

Each fragment symbolizes a moment of hurt, a lesson learned, or a piece of ourselves that felt lost. The process of reassembling the vase becomes a powerful metaphor for personal growth, where self-love, patience, and kindness act as the gold that binds the pieces together. This piece celebrates how we can emerge from our experiences more resilient and whole."
