Der Schmied

The Tearsmith is a mythic-parabolic narrative about creation, responsibility, and the fragile nature of imagination.

Told through symbolic encounters and dreamlike landscapes, the story follows a maker whose craft slowly turns against him. As power, exhaustion, and temptation begin to reshape his work, the world around him loses its warmth and living presence.

Structured as a prologue, seven acts, and an epilogue, the story unfolds as a journey through failure, guilt, and transformation. Along the way, the protagonist encounters figures that embody thresholds, dreams, and the consequences of creation.

At its heart, the story reflects on vulnerability and the quiet necessity of grief, on the role of tears as a sign that something within us is still alive.

“When the tears disappear, our life begins to die.”

Watercolor illustration of a dragonfly with intricate wing details, positioned above colorful watercolor splashes in blue, purple, and pink with small abstract shapes below.

Exploring the process of becoming ourself - in that overcoming ourself over and over again.

Growing towards, only to leave this shape once we have arrived.

To live means to move. Means constant change.

Leaning into this death constantly, skinning and moving towards the unknown.

And that scares the hell out of many of us.

Longing for a place of certainty, of solidity, of knowing.

A place of home, belonging, of unity.

You awake to the clang of your letterbox. On your woven doormat, in the midst of your junk mail and bills, you spy a hand-written, hand-stitched black envelope, your name etched in inky letters.
