Shards of The Untraced (2025)
For String Quartet and Spatialized Fixed Media

Memory carries a sense of purpose. Old memories are often fragmented and incomplete, yet when a piece of memory stays with us, it becomes more than a recollection. It turns into an emotional tone, an attitude, and a reflection of the deeper desires that shape who we are.

Memory is never static—each time we revisit it, fragments reassemble in a new and unpredictable order, like a montage. This piece reflects the ever-changing nature of memory through its flexible structure. Inspired by a childhood moment spent on a window seat during a stormy night, it evokes the interplay between vivid sensory details and the fluidity of recollection. Rain poured loudly outside, while the soft warmth of a quilt and the quiet act of reading or drawing created an intimate sense of stillness and comfort. Old radio whispers and faded pop songs drift through time, hallucinated sounds surface in the stillness of midnight, and the mind presses forward with an unspoken dialogue—the piece blurs the line between what is real and what is remembered.
