The concept of “broken vessels” comes from the Jewish religion Kabbalah, where it is mentioned that when the vessel which is used for holding the light breaks, and then the shattered fragment becomes light. Hence, we believe that all of those old shattered chips would turn into “new light” after the re-creation by our artists.
