Missing Pieces
An art Sculpture at Cape Cod, Massachusetts
This Humpty Dumpty
Once stood at the top
And when he fell down
He learned quite a lot
There were parts and pieces
All scattered no doubt
But that’s when he learned
What life’s all about
He first found his heart
And held it near
He listened for once
To see what he’d hear
He put the pieces together
Best that he could
Felt different for sure
But that could be good
Some cracks disappeared
Over time and space
The others became
A part of his face
The missing pieces
They were the key
They allowed grace to enter
And a soul to be
This Humpty Dumpty
Once stood on the top
When he fell down
He grew quite a lot
"Missing Pieces" is an artistic sculpture at Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. The idea first emerged from the concept of "Kintsugi" - a Japanese practice of embellishing the cracks and imperfections of a broken vessel, to add beauty and value to it. Missing Pieces is a series of stone-like pieces of concrete that once belonged to the same unit. After fracture, some pieces go missing and others are reunited to fit like a puzzle, so that a certain whole can be read.
The project is about 24' x 11' x 2' (7.3m x 3.3m x 0.5m), and was completely prefabricated in Madrid, Spain to be later shipped and assembled on its destination site in Cape Cod, MA, USA.
