This record grew slowly and deliberately, evolving from sketches and compositional cells between late 2022 and spring 2025. These fragments were given time to breathe, transform, and reimagine themselves in post-production. As ancestral traces and speculative possibilities intertwine, The In Between explores grief, patience, becoming, and home. It carries stories, lessons, and memories that have deeply shaped me.
