Set of 2 porcelain teacups and saucers broken and glued back together
Dimensions variable
By breaking and assembling back this set of teacups and saucers, I want to make evident the problems and conflicts that married couples may have during their life together, and that usually remain secret and/or hidden, thus giving the appearance that everything is all right.
