It's about moving across the ocean.

 The broken cup is one of the props I've brought from home. Could not part with it. Magnolia cone, strange thorns, ginkgo leaf and other obscure botanical forms were found on the streets of Los Angeles.

It turns out that here everything artificial, created by human hands I've brought from my home. And everything natural I've found on the other side of the sea.

I wonder how these new findings will now grow on Far Eastern broken porcelain.
