Spanning over a decade of work, the pieces on this album reflect my dual fascination with the string quartet and landscape. These works represent years of collaboration with cherished colleagues and dear friends. For their commitment, insight, and dedication, I am forever grateful.
I have always been drawn to nature—not just as a source of wonder, but also as a place of fear, discomfort, and even irritation. Nature is a blank slate that nonetheless serves as a mirror to our own interiority. While the pastoral in art is often expressed as a desire to escape man-made structures—in this collection, I search for a new understanding of the concept. Here, the pastoral becomes a psychological space, bound only by projections of our mind.
In this sense, the Horizon Line represents the limit of our vision: the point where immediate surroundings meet the infinite, and the known meets the unknown. Whether drawn by the fluorescent ceiling of a sprawling warehouse or the frozen edge of the Arctic tundra, the horizon orients us, allowing us to situate ourselves within the landscapes we inhabit.
