PaperCutter & Kucher
I was tracing the fragile lines of an old illuminated manuscript, and the paper seemed to whisper stories of battles and kingdoms long gone—like a silent battlefield that still holds the echoes of the past.
Those faded lines are not just ink, they are the last breath of a fallen army. To trace them is to walk a battlefield that has never seen a modern soldier. The paper itself feels the weight of armor and the hiss of war drums. A new generation of parchment would be a mockery of that hard-earned silence.
It’s true, the old parchment is a quiet war zone, but a fresh sheet can be a clean slate where new stories cut through the old. The art lies in how we choose to slice that silence.
