About the Artwork
An original piece created in collaboration by Artashes Sardarian and Kathrin Marchenko.

This vintage plate carries within it a dialogue between fragility and rebirth. The eye, stitched with thread onto fractured porcelain, gazes outward as if from the depths of memory. Golden kintsugi lines embrace the cracks, celebrating imperfections rather than hiding them.

• A reflection on modernity: In today’s culture of consumption, objects are discarded once they lose novelty. This work challenges that cycle by reclaiming broken, unwanted plates from around the world.

• Beauty in imperfection: Embroidery transforms fracture into ornament, reminding us that time and scars can be sources of beauty.

• A new life for the forgotten: Each plate tells its own story, now reimagined as wearable history and timeless art.
