Statement
A musician’s internal, abstract understanding of music is invisible to see, which makes it difficult to acknowledge. This understanding can be revealed graphically and translated visually. My thesis introduces a sophisticated interpretation of how I look at music as a musician through the lens of a graphic designer. Through my experiences, memories, and subjectivity, I compose my own visual music by experimenting with abstract notations and creating a personal language.
