What if climbing began with letting go?
In MUGA, world-renowned climber Ashima Shiraishi steps into the ancient granite of Switzerland’s Ticino Valley, where every hold and ripple in the rock tells a story millions of years in the making.
As the boundaries between self and stone dissolve, she enters muga—a liminal state free from attachment, expectation, and desire. Here, Ashima finds the space not just to climb, but simply to be.
