Overview

Rob Strati's series "Fragmented" started when his wife accidentally broke a plate that belonged to her late mother. Instead of throwing it away, he kept one of the large fragments and placed it on their kitchen island. At one point he saw how the fragment suggested a new story and he took it back to his studio to begin working.

 

The process of something breaking involves loss, which is often painful. However, there comes a point where we can rebuild and create something new. Each piece Strati creates tells a story that moves beyond the break, showing how even through chaos, we can find hope and transformation. For Strati, his work reflects how we can both include and be freed from the past to continue our stories and create something new.
