  3. 15 Sculptures You (probably) Didn’t Know Existed

    A fork in a lake. A shark in a roof. A portrait hidden inside fifty steel columns.

  6. What Happens When a Plate Shatters and Its Artistic Pieces Go Free?

    FRAGMENTED: Turning Broken Plates Into Art

    Rob Strati’s “Fragmented” series shows how something broken can become something beautiful. It all started with a plate that belonged to his wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day, the plate fell and shattered into pieces. Instead of throwing it away, Strati saw an opportunity to create art.

    Rob explains it best:

    “This work was inspired by a plate from my wife’s late mother, Barbara. One day it was dropped and shattered. Some time after, I picked up a pen and started working on the ‘Fragmented’ series, exploring the possibilities of things broken and the stories that can evolve from them.”

    Using the shapes of the broken plate, Strati created intricate pen drawings. Each piece became part of a new story, showing how beauty can grow from something unexpected.

    Finding Beauty in Broken Things

    Strati’s work reminds us that imperfections can be powerful. His art is similar to kintsugi, a Japanese tradition of fixing broken pottery with gold to celebrate its cracks. Instead of hiding the damage, Strati’s series lets the broken pieces inspire something fresh and creative.
