"serene farewell" depicts the bittersweet resolve of a silent goodbye that ends as a deeper parting. The farewell is not only addressed to the one walking far off into the distance, but also to the memories once shared. There is sorrow, and even a subtle trace of resentment, that comes with losing someone once regarded as a soulmate. Yet, as the long night of tears settles, a gentle peace begins to rise and come forth. The blues embody heartache, but they also share space for calm reflection at a distance. There is solace in being grateful for the sweet moments spent together, but still acknowledging that nothing lasts forever. In sorrow, there is tranquility; in letting go, a gentle freedom.

I believe creativity is about taking introspection and extrospection and then challenging yourself to express the realm between the two. Hence, it's often about confronting the truths, ideals, and values observed in the heart and the surrounding environment; comparing what holds and what conflicts; and challenging how to convey that.
