"Vertebrae" explores the metaphor of the spine—not just as an anatomical structure, but as a symbol of resilience, humility, and silent strength. It reflects on how even unseen parts of us carry immense burdens, heal quietly, and grow stronger with time. Through its blend of vulnerability and grit, it challenges clichés about toughness and celebrates the quiet power of endurance.

A heartfelt piece on resilience and self-reflection, "I Didn't Expect to Break Here" explores the quiet pains of growth, sacrifice, and the unspoken strength within. It delves into the weight of emotional evolution, finding peace in silence, and confronting the unknown with unyielding determination.

"Lost in the Labyrinth of My Own Becoming" is a heartfelt struggle to find oneself amidst doubts, fears, and uncertainty. A relatable exploration of the human experience.

FIEFDOM FALL is a concept album I wrote that explores my constant battle with my identity as a queer person, the relationship I have with my parents and the role religion plays in both of the above.

FIEFDOM FALL is very personal to my own experience as a cisgender gay man who grew up in a strict and conservative environment, navigating my queerness in secrecy. However, I do not intend for you as a reader to feel like you're looking into my life from the outside. Thus, I created a main protagonist that represents me throughout the album.

FIEFDOM FALL doesn't solely focus on my constant battles, there are also a few side quests sprinkled into the narrative - most notably, heartbreak. During the writing process of FIEFDOM FALL I had several relationships, until I thought I found the one. Unfortunately, close to the completion of the project, we had a fallout and he became immortalized through the project.

In conclusion, FIEFDOM FALL is one of my most vulnerable bodies of work and I feel very passionate about sharing it with you. I hope you find meaning in the dissection of myself via the Chinese imagery I've used throughout the project and I thank you for your engagement.
