I started writing Porcelain on the third of January, 2025. I was walking through Berlin, three days after New Years celebrations. Many of the city's glass business fronts were fractured and pavements were chipped from the force of the evenings fireworks. And with a free day and hangover, I decided to walk and follow them all. I strolled for a few hours and thought about the chaos and the odd beauty of cracks. In from beneath the gloomy, snow studded sky and these many thoughts I saw a family, a dysfunctional, messy, broken family - a relationship like a cracked vase, holding shape but not functioning like a vase should at all. Then I started writing.
The central argument of Porcelain is an exploration of this image, and the lyrics of Leonard Cohen's 1992 Single "Anthem" are our structure.
"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in"
- Leonard Cohen, "Anthem", 1992
