      <title>In writing &#34;I Remember&#34;, it was never just music</title>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[As I was composing &#34;I Remember&#34;, it wasn&#39;t simply a song—it became a map to memories buried in time.

I switch between forms like the tides move—inevitable, rhythmic, necessary. When I can&#39;t carve, I sing. When I can&#39;t sing, I write. And when all I can do is breathe and be still—I listen. That, too, is art.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;There&#39;s a phrase that anchors me through it all:&#xD;&#xA;&#34;Because of you, I am; and because of me, you are.&#34;&#xD;&#xA;That&#39;s what &#34;I Remember&#34; means to me.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I was composing <em>“I Remember”</em>, it wasn&#39;t simply a song—it became a map to memories buried in time. Each verse drew me back to the forest-farm of my childhood, and to the joy of those years.</p>

<p><em>“I Remember”</em> is a song woven from memory. Not just the easy moments, but everything: the chaos and the calm. It remembers the early fire.</p>

<p>That song is a sacred echo that ties me to my past self. And in singing it, I give breath to those who shaped me.</p>

<p>That&#39;s why I became an artist. Not through some career ambition, but because my hands needed to speak. Trauma, memory, identity—they needed space. And that&#39;s what sculpture became: a still, silent prayer.</p>

<p>Sculpture taught me patience. Unlike a song, stone and wood don&#39;t lie. I learned to carve memory, to take what was fractured and give it breath. Each sculpture is a way of saying: <em>I survived this, and I remember</em>.</p>

<p>My creative journey isn&#39;t about perfection. It&#39;s about connection. I switch between forms like the tides move—inevitable, rhythmic, necessary. When I can&#39;t carve, I sing. When I can&#39;t sing, I write. And when all I can do is breathe and be still—I listen. That, too, is art.</p>

<p>There&#39;s a phrase that anchors me through it all:
<strong>“Because of you, I am; and because of me, you are.”</strong>
That&#39;s what <em>“I Remember”</em> means to me. It&#39;s not just a song—it&#39;s a bridge forward.</p>

<p>When I sing it, I think of my brother&#39;s laughter. I think of the hands that helped me up.</p>

<p>I remember.
And in doing so,
I live.</p>

<p>So if you ever listen, you&#39;re not just hearing me—you&#39;re hearing my journey. It&#39;s not performance—it&#39;s a return. A healing. A remembering.</p>

<p>And that&#39;s what my art is always trying to do.
