Inspired by the imagery of celestial bodies, this design incorporates symbols of togetherness floating through a fluid, ever-expansive space. These planetary-like forms symbolize the energy of love and connection, transcending physical boundaries to unite all who encounter it. Space, the ultimate realm of coexistence, serves as the perfect metaphor for the harmony and diversity within our communities. It reminds us that just as the universe thrives through interdependence, so do we flourish when guided by selfless love and mutual care. This piece invites viewers to reflect on their roles in fostering connection and empathy, creating a collective atmosphere of unity and hope even amidst the vastness of existence.","created_at":"2025-02-04T15:13:39.068207-05:00","piano_url":"starry-crescendo","piano_artist":"506eef24-01ba-487a-92fb-8f1313f1b15d","piano_year":"2025","artist_name":"Rain","piano_program":"33","piano_artist_bio":"My name is Rain and I'm a 22-year-old visual artist whose vibrant and expressive works explore the intersections of mixed media and collage. I specialize in pen, marker, and acrylic pen. I create intricate, layered pieces on canvas as well paper that showcase a dynamic interplay of color, texture, and storytelling. Having discovered my passion for art at a young age, I honed their craft through years of formal instruction before joining the Belite Collective, a non-profit organization, at the age of 17. My work reflects a unique perspective, often weaving personal narratives with universal themes. In addition to my visual art, I'm a music artist, further enriching their creative journey with a deep connection to sound and rhythm. Through multidisciplinary approach, I want to inspire and push the boundaries of artistic expression.","permanent_home_name":"Andrew P Sanchez & Coplelin-Byrd Multi-Use Center ","contributors_info":null,"perm_lat":null,"perm_lng":null,"artist_photo":"https://app.singforhope.org/storage/v1/object/public/uploads/pianos/rain.jpg","artist_website_url":null,"artist_facebook_url":null,"artist_instagram_url":null,"public_location_name":"Andrew P Sanchez & Coplelin-Byrd Multi-Use Center","piano_search":null,"search_vector":null,"piano_site":65}]},{"id":63,"created_at":"2025-02-04T14:54:39.544696-05:00","program_id":33,"site_title":"Carver High School","site_location":"3059 Higgins Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70126","site_description":"Monday - Friday 8am - 3pm","lat":29.9945628784587,"lon":-90.03389,"pianos":[{"id":58,"piano_title":"Sensitive I Am","piano_image":"https://app.singforhope.org/storage/v1/object/public/uploads/pianos/SensitiveIAm_AutumnFox.png","piano_statement":"Sensitive I Am— am, allowing myself to consume and perceive love of all different forms, and return it fully and compassionately.

First is the closed eyes with a golden eye in the middle, called “The 3rd Eye,” which represents the mind. The mind then manifests the second meaning—a physical star that shines through both good and bad times, always smiling with self-love. That leads to the third meaning: on each side of the piano, there is a blooming rose reaching upward and a fragile, less energetic rose facing downward. Yet both are a beautiful reflection of progress, each in its own stage, awaiting greatness.","created_at":"2025-02-04T15:13:39.068207-05:00","piano_url":"plant-a-smile","piano_artist":"67de0e65-9668-42a7-b6bb-ca269cd5be2a","piano_year":"2025","artist_name":"Pensolarsystem","piano_program":"33","piano_artist_bio":"I'm a amazing poet/story teller I can literally play on any word and form it into drawing of a double entendre.

Hands, in their motion and openness, are both invitation and action. They symbolize the ways we extend ourselves, not just toward others, but toward the unknown, toward possibility. A piano is meant to be played, to bring voices and emotions into harmony. In the same way, this artwork invites engagement. It is not just an object but a reminder: love is something we create together, and hope is something we keep alive with our hands, our hearts, and our collective imagination.","created_at":"2025-02-04T15:13:39.068207-05:00","piano_url":"love-x-hope","piano_artist":"895a8464-64e3-4d23-a946-e39ad96ab671","piano_year":"2025","artist_name":"BMike ","piano_program":"33","piano_artist_bio":"Brandan “BMike” Odums is a New Orleans-based artist, speaker, and activist who uses his art and his voice to reflect and amplify the beauty and strength of Black people.
