Program Note
Negative Space refers to the realm of the abstract. While there are various narrative paths I kept in mind when constructing this piece, there is no single story I am attempting to tell. This work represents my thoughts and feelings about the conflicts between a reality based on the pursuit of absolute truth and an abstract reality constructed within one's own mind. Through the interaction of musical concepts, I chose to reflect on what it means to be myself, to be human, to be alive, and the inconceivable notion of nonexistence.
