■While working professionally with language, I re-imagine the poems I have collected over the years into lyrics, bringing them to life as original song-poems. Neither a mere hobby nor a conventional job, this songwriting is what I consider my future life’s work—a creative journey I intend to pursue at my own gentle pace.

“The world goes on without you, unchanged. Yet, without you, the world is empty.”

Swept up in the rush of daily life, we rarely pause to face the fundamental truth of our existence—of life and death. Yet, the everyday realities we take for granted will eventually shatter, forcing us to stand before questions that offer no easy answers. Those who can embrace this truth with a soft heart are fortunate. For those who see it as mere absurdity, it becomes an unbearable suffering. When you find yourself struggling through that darkness, beginning to faintly question the meaning of your own existence, my music will gently find its way into your ears.

I truly hope these songs reach and comfort wounded souls across the world.
