This composition is closely connected to my own process of self-exploration and identity. ... I hope to convey that even when it feels like you have lost a sense of yourself, those parts are still there and can be found again. The piece suggests that identity does not disappear, but is gradually shaped through each experience over time. This idea is especially present in the final movement, “Acceptance”, where fragments of material from the earlier movements return. By bringing together elements from “Discovery”, “Crisis”, and “Reflection”, the music suggests that these stages are all still present within the self. Rather than starting over, the ending reflects a process of integration, where different parts of identity are acknowledged and held together. ”
