woodcarving

Description

Woodcarving is the ritual of inscribing human desire onto a pristine block of wood, only to produce absurd trinkets. The artisan’s endurance becomes minute chisel marks, forced to coexist with dust the moment the piece is finished. This craft masquerades as self-expression while massacring timber, staging a cruel spectacle for the beholder. It reveals the brutal truth that the agony of creation is the real pleasure, and the final product is merely a hollow facade.
