Pahuway （Rest）
This piece is an expressive journey in finding peace in a moment in one's lifetime that is full of uncertainty and doubt. A sort of a prayer and a longing for stability for a world deprived of any form of normalcy, viewed from within the constraints one's home. Pahuway is Hiligaynon for "rest" .
