*Kintsugi* is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold lacquer — built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections, you can create a stronger, more beautiful piece of art.
Women that have overcome, survived, and recovered from adversity have a deeper sense of self…built on strength, understanding, compassion, and acceptance.
These are the modern day heroes of Iya Consorio Barrioquinto. The feisty face of femininity.
UNPRETTY is an ode to being a woman, and knowing there is strength even in being gentle, and there is power even in submission.
Hear us roar, even when we are silent.
See how the gold lacquer that traces each crack of imperfection makes us stronger, more beautiful versions of ourselves. We are whole even in our brokenness.
UNPRETTY celebrates women and all they can be.
Letting go of the pretty frivolousness of youth, making way for the beautiful unprettiness of a life well lived, strength gained & regained, and lessons learned & relearned.
