A flaw or a beauty of imperfection?

There is profound cultural meaning of jades, it always connects with a sense of identity recognition and traditional virtue. It’s almost a must that jades have to be intact (united). However, Chan thinks instead of to repair, conceal or escape the defects, it is even better to “present”. Whether it’s a flaw or a beauty of imperfection, it just depends on the imagination of the audience.

To present the beauty of the natural and unnatural flaws; the relation between static state and motion; the tension between noise and peace – this extends the imagination towards jades. Meanwhile, it reviews the connection between individuals and collectives.
