The Wonders of the universe: cry

I’m so excited to share "Cry," another piece from my The Wonders of the Universe art and piano series! This artwork, which blends watercolour, Japanese ink, and gold ink, goes hand-in-hand with my improvised piano piece of the same name.

This series is inspired by the awe-inspiring, cosmic beings described by Ezekiel—part machine, part creature, and all-seeing—who represent a universe that is as beautiful as it is terrifying. The full album will be out on October 31st.
