transfiguration
by Stephanie Inagaki
One of the best things a friend told me this past year, while dealing with this grief, is that no matter what, I can keep loving from afar, and that gave me some release and reprieve. That however hard the decision was that I made, I don’t have to feel conflicted about the love I continue to feel. Life isn’t black and white but a muddled maelstrom of love, difficulties, happiness, death, anger, hope… we don’t get to choose what comes at us, but we definitely have a choice in how we feel and deal with it.
This is in conversation with my first drawing, “Hope and Love” which is inspired by loss, the subsequent grief and hope, and Japanese concepts of musubi and kintsukuroi. The red thread of fate that connects two people is called musubi in Japanese. Musubi has numerous meanings from connecting people, representing the flow of time, knotting- which is also time, unraveling – breaking – connecting human life again. Kintsukuroi means golden repair or more popularly written as kintsugi – golden joinery, the idea to mend something with gold to repair and embrace the flaws.
