Description

Adze operates as an operational tool designed to remove, sculpt, or refine material through repeated, directional force. It represents the principle of shaping by subtraction, where form emerges through the removal of excess. Adze highlights the relationship between intention and technique, showing how controlled impact can transform raw material into purposeful structure. It also embodies the rhythm of craftsmanship, where each stroke contributes to gradual refinement. As an operational construct, adze reveals how systems evolve through deliberate, iterative modification.
