"The Shapeshifter" Original Star Trek DS9 Inspired Composition

This is an original composition which was inspired by the character, Odo from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. This song came to me in a dream, in which I was observing a shapeshifter very similar to Odo. I felt as though I understood this being intimately. He was so beautiful, strange, alien, monstrous and protective all at once. The dream made me appreciate Odo's story arc a lot more (even though I've always liked the character). I felt that I truly grasped his pain and loneliness, his longing and his curiosity. I also intrinsically understood just how difficult it truly was for him to go against his truer nature every day while living on the station. When I woke up, I rushed to my computer to write down the song before it dissipated!
I guess you could call this "Odo's Theme", though it might be a theme for changelings and shapeshifters at large, or a theme for the "Great Link" in DS9, which is something I would personally love to experience.
Hopefully I've captured something of his conflicted nature, his nobility, and his cranky, stubborn exterior juxtaposed with his infinitely flexible, chimerical interior.
I do not own any of the images used to make this background art. I couldn't find the artist who did that Odo fan art, so if anyone recognizes it, can you please let me know?
