About the Work
"Qxeen of Seasons"
As all things strive to exist in balance, nature's perennial gifting of our seasons culminates annually not in Summer, but in the calm rest of Winter. Winter's cold, stoic surface hides and harbors so much, as in this time nature is planning and preparing its grand spectacle for us. And beneath this cold, dim facade the Qxeen of Seasons awakens to playfully bring our seasons into being. Her manifestations and glee explore Winter from a perspective of magic, color, growth and discovery! Elements and visions of seasonal energies transform the architecture throughout the piece while being accompanied by "Microworlds" by French Composer-Producer CloZee.
