LUMINANCE
(2023)
"Luminance" explores the interplay between light and darkness both musically and thematically. Inspired by the concept of "luminance," this work seeks to evoke a sense of radiance and brilliance through its music.
At its core, "Luminance" addresses issues relevant to contemporary society. By exploring themes of hope and despair, inclusion and exclusion, and power and powerlessness, the piece seeks to provide a platform for reflection and conversation. Through its use of evocative tonalities and dynamic contrasts, "Luminance" aims to inspire audiences to find strength in moments of darkness and embrace the light within themselves.
