This piece was inspired by Mitski’s "Class of 2013," a song that deeply resonated with me. Music has always been a central part of my life, and this particular song captured the feeling of being trapped in grief. This work reflects the profound loss of innocence that follows enduring grief, a turning point where the world feels forever changed. Through this piece, I explore the emotional weight of that transition and the lasting impact of sorrow.
