I studied Buddhism when I was younger and was always fascinated by the Buddhist koans. Short poems made to short circuit the logical mind and open an opportunity to experience an enlightened state. Much of my interest in music and art stems from this same idea.

Essentially to bypass the gatekeeper in my head. This piece is from a new series in progress. I'm still working out exactly where it's going. This is the my favorite part of the process. There is a path ahead, but I'm not sure where it's exactly going yet.
