About the Work

The central theme explores the importance of reflecting on one’s own judgment—towards oneself and others—
while developing a cosmic perspective through the lens of the past. The goal: to inspire our fellow human beings
towards a shared future.

Presented in both epic and simple poetic form, the lyrics touch on the conscious and subconscious mind,
friendship, collaboration, and the light of the spirit as a source of creative inspiration.

Each composition carries its own distinctive tone, merging lyrical, pop, rock, and musical-style melodies with
spoken word. The music follows the performers like a film score, and its themes resonate with audiences of all ages—
from children and teenagers to adults and seasoned music critics.
