About
Aurea is a powerful artistic statement that highlights the importance of climate action and sustainability. The sculpture series draws its inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of kintsugi, which involves repairing broken pottery with gold or silver lacquer. This technique not only fixes the broken object but also enhances its beauty and value, creating a unique piece of art that celebrates imperfection and resilience.
Aurea seeks to turn the spotlight on the pressing issue of climate change and environmental degradation, transforming discarded materials into beautiful works of art that inspire and educate. Each sculpture in the series is a testament to the power of creativity and innovation in tackling the challenges of our time.
Through its partnership with Singularity Group, Aurea is raising awareness about SDG 13 and encouraging individuals, businesses, and governments to take action towards a more sustainable future. The sculpture’s presence at COP26, one of the most significant climate summits in the world, underscores the urgency of the situation and the need for collective action.
In a world that is constantly changing, Kintsugi Aurea serves as a symbol of hope and resilience. It reminds us that, even in the face of adversity, we have the power to create something beautiful and meaningful. By embracing the principles of sustainability and innovation, we can work together to build a brighter and more sustainable future for ourselves and for generations to come.
The sculpture is inspired by the Blue Marble, one of the most powerful images of the Earth taken by the Apollo 17 crew showing a borderless world, and the Japanese art of mending broken pottery pieces with gold or silver, known as Kintsugi. This piece was exhibited at Goals House, a renowned location for discussions around The Global Goals
