Mend began with a memory: watching a kintsugi master on television, filling the cracks of a broken bowl with gold until the break became the most beautiful part. This assignment brought it back. Mend is a video player shaped by that craft, where the break is not hidden but honoured. Every pause is a break: the tea bowl at its centre parts into shards. Every play is a repair: gold flows back into the seams.
The footage carries the same thought in two chapters. In Break, gold cracks run out of the player's own frame into black coal, as if the damage does not stop at the edge, and slowly gather into a heartbeat. The crack is not an ending; it is where life shows through. In Whole, the coal falls away and the same heartbeat rests in white porcelain, mended in champagne gold, while light passes slowly over it. The scar remains, but it is gold now, and it is still beating.
