Designed in 2021: This a small pin series inspired by three different things: the 起承轉結 concept from bts’ love yourself highlight reel, Namjoon’s UN speech from 2018 & kintsugi which is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold.

The main focal point in this pins series will be the kintsugi aspect of it since it’s a metaphor for embracing one’s flaws & imperfections; which also ties into love yourself era w joon’s speech & the highlight reel. It signifies both self discovery but also self acceptance which I feel a lot people struggle with. Do you lose your own identity and lose yourself to the world’s definition of ‘normal’ to fit in? When was it when you first started worrying what others thought of you?
