"I have never seen you 

But I know your touch

 

In the dark

My eyes are closed

But I see your world" 

​

For a period in 2018, I got consistent sleep paralysis and my dreams continued from night to night. At first, the physical world seemed disassociated, but eventually, the construction of two worlds merged into each other. One day, the second world closed its door to me.

“Nemuri” is a piece to commemorate the death of my existence during the prolonged period of sleep paralysis in 2018.
