The ceramics are not only ornamental but also echo the philosophy of "Kintsugi"the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, embracing flaws and imperfection as part of an object's story. In this way, each piece becomes a meditation on beauty, resilience, and transformation.arran shared the inspiration behind the collection, which began with the intricate blue-and-white ceramic motifs adorning the base of the central prang at Wat Aruna masterpiece of early Rattanakosin architecture where devotion and design converge. It was in those sacred patterns that he found a starting point: a symbol of faith rendered in delicate porcelain.
