the parts not in the index. warmer, looser, harder to grade.
[ 01 // CELLO ]Cello. Soloist with the school symphony, all-region three years running, section leader — the instrument I've spent the most hours alone in a room with.[ 02 // PIANO ]Piano. Freelance accompanist for whoever needs one — an admitted NYO '25 audition, a run of UIL solo competitions, other people's recitals.[ 03 // GUITAR ]Guitar. Self-taught, badly at first, mostly for myself. No competitions, no adjudicators — the one instrument nobody's ever graded me on.[ 04 // PHOTO ]Photography. I shoot for a creator with 250K+ followers and cut the video too. Most of what I keep for myself is overexposed and half out of focus.[ 05 // LANG ]Languages. Korean at home, Spanish by choice — the second one for bilingual book readings with pediatric patients at a community clinic in Austin.
[ 06 // FILM ]
Film. Iwai, Anno, Sono Sion, Akira. I understood memory as an image that fades and gets redrawn long before I ever understood it as a science.
