Ms Soul

Kinbaku is the old Japanese art of binding, the beauty of tight binding, and it sits at the heart of this piece. She is held, and the holding is not cruelty. It is the shape a life makes around a person. The gold runs where the binding is tightest. Mended and remade by our own golden essence, the places that take the most pressure become the places that shine. Nothing here is hidden. The pressure and the repair are the same lines.
