The piece was written as part of my degree final project and was recognised by winning the prestigious SPA / Antena 2 composition competition in its 13th edition. Although the title might suggest otherwise, this piece is not an authentic portrait of its composer. During the composition and orchestration process, the piece proved to be flexible, adjusting to the needs of the instrumentalists and the expectations of the audience. Like human interactions, the piece has transformed, adapting and evolving, reflecting the dynamic nature of interpersonal relationships and the constant mutation of our own identity.
