Highway Blues
Rafael Avila (b. 2001)
The piece explores frustration over what is considered a purposely flawed system of transportation, of how car dependent our society is. The frustration extends to the lack of independence at the inability to drive oneself. Ultimately the piece explores a sense of inferiority.
