The Gaze of the Coastal Heroes
[SOLD] This transformed retired longboard is inspired by the principles of kintsugi. The term 'kintsugi' itself translates to 'golden joinery' or 'golden repair.' This art form is not merely about mending broken objects; it's a metaphor about embracing imperfections, fragility, and history. The colors used in this piece capture the revitalizing tranquility of blues and the renewing qualities of greens to render the ocean vibe. It is an imaginative interplay of the waves of the ocean and the flash of lightning. This piece symbolizes the courage of our coastal heroes who have dedicated their lives to the beach and coastal safety of people. It is a tribute to the mission and unwavering dedication of Surf Life Saving New Zealand, for their quick as a flash action to save the lives of the people in our coastal areas.
