‘Broken' as an alternative to beautiful

Broken is actually an engageable aesthetic.

It's in the things that we throw away that actually most of our knowledge exist, the knowledge of context.

‘Broken’ allows us to ask those fundamental questions by looking at what we would normally discard and seeing what it has to tell us about something.

Context is always equal to or greater than the instance in which something happens. Saying “it’s broken” only focuses on the one instance.

The moment which the glass breaks reveals what was always there. It reveals the continuity.

If we only focus on the moment that the glass smashed, we forget everything else that led up to that moment and everything else that comes afterwards.

To say “it’s broken” implies it only ever had a single purpose.

The brokenness reveals a part of functionality.

Things shouldn't be surprising because we should always expect change.
