Design & exhibition of sharp tools to cut through what needs to be cut
CUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE CUT
The “Art of Cutting Through” is the ability to let go of what no longer has its place and to assert clear limits to make room for what should be. My sharp tools are designed to cut consciously and meticulously what no longer serves you.
Knives and blades separate what is still required from what is unnecessary.
Shiatsu on the other hand, is a great tool for getting rid of physical pain or cumbersome thought patterns.
In my workshop “the art of cutting through” I invite you to forge your own knife while gaining knowledge about the symbolic meaning of the blade in ancient traditions and its power to cut through material and immaterial obstacles.
The more you cut through, the closer you come to truth and freedom.
The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity - (Rollo May - American Psychologist (1909-1994))
SO WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO CUT?
SHARP TOOLS
& BLADES
KNIVES
Subtle and versatile, knives are among the oldest tools known to humankind, but also among the most essential ones. They represent a perfect harmony scarcely found in any other objects: delicate and sharp, loyal and dangerous, shiny and rugged, feminine and masculine. When I make knives, I feel at home.
SHIATSU
A SHARP TOOL
Tools like shiatsu, based on an extremely sensitive observation of the principles of life, are needed more than ever at any scale: whether in our body cells, our families, our schools, or our businesses…
I learned from one of the best (if not the best) shiatsu institutes in Europe. Let me show you how sharp shiatsu can be.
BLADES
SHE

WORKSHOP
Forge your own blade and cut through what needs to be cut!
I invite you to an unforgettable day immersed in the warmth of fire and the sound of transforming metal, enriched with Chinese philosophy and medicine. In addition to creating a unique piece, you will gain knowledge from ancient traditions that will help you cut consciously and carefully through what no longer serves you, making space for what is meant to be.
