Two pieces of wood and a very quiet fifteen minutes

A frame from the last stretch of this session. One tool anchors the shoulder, the other is drawn slowly along the line beside the spine. Candles just out of shot on the left.

In the video it runs like this: the tools get warmed first, then the whole back, top to bottom, slow and even — wood doesn't get tired the way hands do. Long passes beside the spine, then across the shoulder blades, then the neck. Filmed close, with the mics picking up every drag of wood on oiled skin. No talking, no cuts.
