In our hyper-connected world, finding activities that truly disconnect us from digital overload has become a modern struggle. Many turn to quick-fix solutions like meditation apps or digital detox challenges, only to find their fingers itching for smartphone notifications within minutes. The real cost? Our brains are losing the capacity for sustained focus – studies show the average attention span has dropped to just 47 seconds on any screen.
Enter the renaissance of analog puzzles, where the Valfré New The Sun Is High Puzzle emerges not just as entertainment, but as a tactile mindfulness practice wrapped in striking contemporary art.
