The Chipped Cup I Kept

By Jade Earthshaker

I found this one at the end of a long sketching night, with the event space plan spread across the floor and every crooked edge of that property annoying me. Somewhere in the first minutes the narrator says imperfection, not perfection, is the natural state, and I had to laugh at myself. Fifteen minutes among tea bowls and worn things and I stopped trying to hide the uneven corner and started drawing around it instead. If you have been craving fewer things and more room to breathe, watch this one slowly.
