bubble is a whimsical exploration of an internal landscape brimming with curiosity.
This piece was inspired by my sometimes overactive brain, jumping from idea to idea while chasing after the elusive ecstasy of flow state. I imagined thoughts zipping by at high speed, colliding, glitching and reforming while slipping in and out of focus. Moments of clarity emerge only to devolve back into tangled pathways of thought and sensation, fuelled by a constant source of energy that never fully dissipates.
Drawing on my background in popular music, this piece incorporates elements of pop song structure, while remaining driven by the spontaneity and momentum of a restless inner world.
