Indemnity is a personal reflection on a ghazal by Hafez, reimagined through my own musical world. The two accordions engage in a dialogue that moves between tension and serenity, embodying both the mystical and human dimensions of Hafez’s poetry. The fixed media layer extends this dialogue into a larger, atmospheric space, where echoes of tradition meet modern sound. The piece contemplates love, loss, and acceptance—turning poetic spirit into a resonant, introspective landscape.
