Artist's note:
 
Last April, during the big earthquake, a vase shattered in my home.
The fragments—sharp-edged, in all shapes and sizes—
I carefully gathered them, piece by piece, and laid them out in order,
capturing their final form in a photograph.
 
I drew patterns on the broken surfaces.
Though it could no longer hold flowers,
 
it continued to bloom.
