about

"Il Prigioniero"(2005) is named after the Michelangelo sculpture that is housed in Florence. Many have looked on this sculpture as being incomplete because it features unpolished stone. However, I and others see it as a finished work, as a sculpture of a prisoner trying to free himself from the rock. This solo piano composition captures that dynamic with its rough texture and constant tension. Additionally, the piece is about creative artists who continually struggle through numerous obstacles towards creating their ideals.
