Humans have five senses: sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. Each of them allows us to perceive and evaluate the world both rationally and emotionally. In everyday life, sight, touch, and hearing seem to be the most essential. Without taste and smell, we would still be able to function. However, when it comes to their impact on our sensitivity, this hierarchy is reversed.

Taste and smell have the unique ability to unlock the most distant and forgotten corners of our memory — a power that neither sight nor touch possesses to the same extent. Hearing, on the other hand, is equally distinctive: it can evoke powerful memories and emotions, yet it is difficult to imagine everyday life in complete silence.

The inspiration for the Cleaver of Doom came from the music and universe of the video game Doom. While listening to Rip and Tear by Mick Gordon, imagine a weapon in which every single part is designed to be deadly. Imagine it as the only thing standing between you and death. The Cleaver of Doom is my interpretation of that vision.
