Program Notes

This piece arises from the thought of the absurd, a feeling that has long haunted me when contemplating the human life process. It stems from imagining the reversibility of time: the more we gain through maturity, the less remains within us. Through music, I trace a reversed life cycle, where time—the same vessel that carries life—flows backward. Five states of mind unfold in reverse, forming an absurd yet renewing journey: detached — fear-based — the moment — fearless — alive.
