“Heartstrings” was created during a season when I was re-exploring who I was after starting all over in life. This piece is a representation of how music was there to remind me that my heart could feel again and how life was authentically bringing me new moments that were playing on my heartstrings in ways that brought a new vibrancy back to my whole being. I witnessed new growth in areas of my heart that were once dormant. Music has been a catalyst for bringing my heart and soul back to life and giving my days back their meaning.
