Picture book
/ The Magical Vase

This book explores the complex and challenging experience of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the journey toward healing. Using the metaphor of a broken vase, it examines the psychological impact of trauma and the emotional fragmentation that follows traumatic events.

The narrative highlights the process of confronting and ultimately mending these emotional fractures through the concept of Kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art of repairing with gold, which symbolizes the potential for healing, resilience, and transformation.

 

The book illustrates that one’s scars can become a source of strength and beauty rather than a mark of weakness.
