The piece is flowy with upward and downward motions, densely orchestrated. Korean traditional folk melodies and microtonal inflections are reimagined through modern orchestral colors, building wave after wave toward a climactic peak of longing. 2nd Place (tie), 1st Future Symphony International Composition Competition (2018). Winner, Luna Nova Composition Contest (2021). 2nd Prize, Korean Wind Ensemble Competition (2020). Premiered by the Future Symphony Orchestra at the competition final in Vilnius, Lithuania. https://www.futuresymphony.lt/news/
