This key piece from the Kintsugi Pop series features Homer Simpson, the epitome of dysfunction and comedic hedonism. The figure, crafted with a crackled texture of white porcelain with reddish stains (simulating rust or neglect), has its face and body etched with fine gold lines, giving it an unexpected nobility. The mouth and eyes are transformed into golden sculptural elements, while the blue overalls (a symbol of his industrial work) are also repaired with gold. Here, Kintsugi functions as an aesthetic defense of human imperfection. The gold not only seals the character's cracks (his mistakes, his laziness) but also celebrates his unwavering—though humorous—effort to stay afloat within the failed American dream. The piece is a powerful meditation on the beauty found in routine, failure, and comedic melancholy, elevating the cartoon character to an icon of everyday resilience.

Applying Kintsugi to Homer Simpson aims to challenge perceptions of what constitutes a hero or a character of worth. Homer embodies vulnerability, laziness, and the cycle of failure and renewal. Kintsugi transforms his chaotic existence into a narrative of value. The golden cracks are the trace of his poor decisions, workplace accidents, and constant struggle for family survival; these are not flaws to hide but the very foundation of his charm and durability. The gold celebrates the involuntary resilience of the antihero, conveying a central philosophical message: the dignity and beauty of life lie in accepting our own glorious dysfunctionality, and even the most fractured existence can be rebuilt and valued as a work of art.
