A Fusion of Story, Sound, and Memory
This is a multi-genre project where imagery, music, and the text from the prologue of The Man Who Stopped Aging merge into a single, powerful song. Together, they give voice to the central thoughts and emotions of the novel’s main character.
William, now around 90 years old, stands at the quiet crossroads of reflection. As he looks back across the arc of his life, he contemplates the mysteries of living, the slow unfolding of the aging process, and the deep, unshakable longing for the women who once walked beside him.
Through words, sound, and visual storytelling, this project invites you into William’s world — a space where memory lingers, love endures, and life’s fragile beauty is illuminated by music and reflection.
