I don't like to think of any of these shattered and cracked creations as broken or damaged. Every time you break something you make something new.
If you think that these shattered and cracked creations are all about broken glass and mirrors, then you are dead wrong. The art of destroying something and either putting it back together or making something new out of it is alive and well. From shattered skateboard furniture to cracked egg lights, there are plenty of functional items here that just happen to have a crack or two.
