Paper cutting, a meditative creative action that allows a single point of focus. Where all other things can melt away.
The theory of flow, where people are happiest when they are in a state of flow—a state of concentration or complete absorption with the activity at hand and the situation. It is a state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter. The theory of flow was developed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and is pretty much saying “ Man, I was so in the zone!” or “ Couldn’t pick up my phone, was so in the groove!”. It’s a space between boredom and anxiety.
It’s a space that paper cutting creates.
