Program Notes

"in water suspended" is inspired by memory and how they change with us over time. They can be unpredictable yet familiar, blurring into others, fading into the distance, or remaining vivid. Memory continues to evolve and shift as we live through new experiences. They are like watercolours, suspended between water, resin, and surface, always held with us yet balancing between transparency and colour.
