About the creation
The music composition was inspired by Emily Dickinson poem "Pain expands the Time".
In this poem, time is not something objective that exists independent of our conceptualization. It is contained within the circumference of our brains and can expand and contract at will. The poem ends in a negative hypothetical space that denies the existence of these eternities.
