Letting the past rest where it burns, only to gild the cracks left behind. 'Bygones' is a profound exploration of memory, texture, and resilience. Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi and the art of Kintsugi, this piece represents the quiet beauty of things left behind—and the strength found in what remains. The central, deeply textured cinnabar-red orb acts as a focal point of emotional weight, fractured yet structurally sound. Forgiven, forgotten, and mended in gold.
