KINTSUGI
A Woman
Worthless to Gold
Kintsugi: A Woman follows the life of a spirited Chinese girl who once loved to perform for an audience.
At the age of four, she is sent away to reunite with parents she barely knows. She feels abandoned and carries this as her first scar into Canada. Within a month, after a terrifying incident, her mother becomes the person she fears most. Her natural lively self is hidden away, and her voice is silenced. Branded a worthless daughter by her mother who wanted a first-born son, she internalizes shame and becomes a stranger to herself.
Raw, intimate, and unflinching, Kintsugi: A Woman is a story of resilience, identity, and the slow, courageous act of reclaiming one's voice-and one's authentic self. It is for every woman who has been told she was not enough-and who dares, finally, to believe otherwise.
She is Kintsugi. A metaphor for the woman- who was once considered worthless. Once broken, now a beautifully mended vessel*, stronger and more resilient than ever, for each restored piece is a treasure that completes her.
*Throughout history, women have been considered vessels as they contain, guide, and protect. A woman's womb is a cradle that gives life.
