the broken tile that marked a bond of chosen kinship.
In ancient Rome, two people who wanted to mark a bond of friendship or chosen kinship would take a small ceramic tile — a tessera hospitalis — and break it in half. Each kept a piece.
Years later, or generations later, when the matching halves were brought back together, the tokens recognized a relationship that had outlasted distance and time. Each tile was whole on its own. Together, they made something larger.
That's Tessakin. A home for people who know that relationships don't have to come in pairs to be real — and that every person carrying a tile is already whole.
