'I spent a lot of time while working on this album thinking about impermanence and endings, which led me to change my understanding of vanitas and memento mori. These concepts arise allegorically across classical antiquity and Buddhist thought, among many other sources, but they were most obsessively expressed during the Renaissance in still lives and miniatures that contrasted the simultaneous passing and stillness of time. My interpretation is completely secular, softer, and more benign, but the awareness of a moment's feeling remains. There's a lot of symbolist imagery in the work titles, references to place and nature; the 'Stations' series in particular is a reconfiguring of the idea of states of being'.
