As a philosophy, Kintsugi (金継ぎ) treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.

It’s a metaphor for human life.

I wanted my daughters to have a heroine who looks like family.

So I wrote Doors to the Stars.

Better with sound on. This is definitely getting good enough to make a damn fine trailer.
