Kintsugi Egoist (2024) Rzeźba autorstwa Val Filip

Sculpture from the Egoist series in the style of the Japanese art of kintsugi - the Japanese art of restoring ceramic objects using lacquer mixed with gold, silver or platinum powder. The philosophical basis of the art of kintsugi is primarily that breakages and cracks are integral to the history of the object and therefore do not deserve to be forgotten or disguised. Conceptually, the kintsugi gaze is about accepting flaws and imperfections.

Since primitive tribes, phallus worship has been found in many different places and in many different forms. The phallus symbolises strength, power, authority, general spiritualisation. The seed is considered the embodiment and source of life force. In ancient Indian mythology it is identified with the absolute ideal beginning underlying the universe.
Special importance was attached to the erect penis, the sight of which, according to the beliefs of many peoples, should inspire fear and reverence in others. The ancients endowed the erect penis with a special protective and deterrent power. Almost all peoples had a cult in which the phallus was regarded as a profound religious symbol. In Ancient Rome, children wore amulets in the form of a phallus around their necks as a means of protection against evil. Images of the phallus made of bronze or stone served as jewellery for women, giant images of it were erected in temples.
