Cutting a tree is an exercise of the senses. The woodcutter orchestrates the growth of the forest. He performs a sharp intervention in nature. It is a ritual, a dance between humans and trees. A meditation on time and the power of transformation. Branches that move moved by an invisible hand, woodcutters at work. A rupture is brought into being.
