PROGRAM NOTE

The work's title in eternal dusk represents a state of being within and towards an intangible distance.  During recent years, I have frequently traveled across the Pacific Ocean and North America.   I always feel drifting and torn apart as the time and space drastically change – memories, auras, dreams, and thoughts, everything seems vivid but at the same time so surreal and distant.  I therefore designed the structure with a continuous flow in polyrhythm to reflect my perception of time and imaginary space where I seek for something that remains inside myself while everything is lost except waves, twilight, and endless longing.
