This artwork draws inspiration from the relentless passage of time and the inevitable imperfections that arise from it. The duality in the sculpture—one side pristine, the other fractured—pays homage to the classical ideals of beauty and the modern embrace of imperfection. It channels the Japanese concept of Kintsugi, where cracks are celebrated as part of an object's history, but here the emphasis is on the raw, unembellished truth of existence.
"Cracked Eternity" invites viewers to consider the idea of completeness not as a state of being flawless but as a harmony of contrasts. The sculpture’s cracks act as metaphors for the experiences and challenges that shape identity. They remind us that life is not linear; it is layered with struggles and triumphs, where beauty arises from both creation and destruction.
It also reflects on the modern human condition—how we carry the weight of history and tradition while striving to remain relevant in an ever-changing world. The tension between the classical and the contemporary, the unbroken and the fractured, asks us to ponder: Can we truly reconcile the past with the present without breaking apart?
