Saviez-vous que Beyoncé aussi est fan de Kintsugi ? Elle s’inspire de cet art japonais comme symbole du pardon dans le couple.

Le Kintsugi comme symbole du pardon
L’album « Lemonade » de Beyoncé est sorti quelque temps après les rumeurs concernant les infidélités du couple Beyoncé-Jay Z.
Dans le clip de la chanson « Sandcastles », qui parle de pardon et de reconstruction, apparaît fugitivement un plan présentant un magnifique bol noir, réparé avec des jointures d’or selon la technique ancestrale du Kintsugi.
L’art du Kintsugi, c’est l’art japonais de souligner les blessures d’or : au lieu de cacher les failles, on les assume, comme faisant partie de l’histoire de l’objet cassé… L’objet retrouve son unité, encore plus beau, encore plus fort, encore plus précieux qu’avant d’avoir été brisé…
Des paroles pleines de sens, qui parlent de réparation
Alors, est-ce vraiment le hasard si ce bol Kintsugi apparaît au détour du clip ? Difficile à savoir… Mais on peut noter que le texte de la chanson fait justement écho à ce visuel qui parle de réparation : « forgiveness » (pardon), « if we’re gonna heal, let it be glorious » (si nous devons guérir, que ce soit avec splendeur) « There is a curse that will be broken » (un sort va être rompu) « Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter » (de la vaisselle cassée sur mon comptoir après notre dernier rendez-vous) And your heart is broken ’cause I walked away (Et ton coeur est brisé parce que je suis partie) Show me your scars and I won’t walk away (Montre-moi tes cicatrices et je ne partirai pas)
Sandcastles
Forgiveness
Baptize me
Now that reconciliation is possible
If we’re gonna heal, let it be glorious
One thousand girls raise their arms
Do you remember being born ?
Are you thankful for the hips that cracked ?
The deep velvet of your mother ? and her mother ? and her mother ?
There is a curse that will be broken
We built sandcastles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away
And although I promised that I couldn’t stay, baby
Every promise don’t work out that way, oh, babe
Every promise don’t work out that way
Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can’t erase, baby?
When every promise don’t work out that way, no no, babe
When every promise don’t work out that way
And your heart is broken ’cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won’t walk away
And I know I promised that I couldn’t stay, baby
Every promise don’t work out that way, no no no no no
Every promise don’t work out that way
Beyoncé, une résiliente
Il est d’ailleurs intéressant de noter que le Kintsugi est véritablement l’art de la résilience… Et que les chansons de Beyoncé évoquent justement souvent ses combats et sa force de survie, comme dans la chanson « Survivor » des Destiny’s Child.
Survivor
You thought that I’d be weak without you, but I’m stronger
You thought that I’d be broke without you, but I’m richer
You thought that I’d be sad without you, I laugh harder
Thought I wouldn’t grow without you, now I’m wiser
Thought that I’d be helpless without you, but I’m smarter
You thought that I’d be stressed without you, but I’m chillin’
You thought I wouldn’t sell without you, sold nine million
I’m not gon’ give up (what?)
I’m not gon’ stop (what?)
I’m gon’ work harder (what?)
I’m a survivor (what?)
I’m gonna make it (what?)
I will survive (what?)

Keep on survivin'(what?)
You thought I couldn’t see without you, perfect vision
You thought I couldn’t last without you, but I’m lastin’
You thought that I would die without you, but I’m livin’
Thought that I would fail without you, but I’m on top
Thought it would be over by now, but it won’t stop
Thought that I would self destruct, but I’m still here
Even in my years to come, I’m still gon’ be here
I’m not gon’ give up (what?)

Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
(I’m better than that)
I’m not gon’ blast you on the radio
(I’m better than that)
I’m not gon’ lie on you and your family
(I’m better than that)
I’m not gon’ hate on you in the magazines
(I’m better than that)
I’m not gon’ compromise my Christianity
(I’m better than that)
You know I’m not gon’ diss you on the internet
‘Cause my mama taught me better than that
I’m not gon’ give up (what?)
I’m not gon’ stop (what?)
I’m gon’ work harder (what?)
I’m a survivor (what?)
I’m gonna make it (what?)
I will survive (what?)

Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Soon comes happiness
If I surround my self with positive things
I’ll gain prosperity
I’m not gon’ give up (what?)
