Artist Statement: My Kandinsky-inspired piano consists of a blend of lines and colors which reflect my interpretation of his abstract way of thinking. The sun and moon, bright and dark colors, and different geometric shapes symbolize the interconnected, opposite forces of nature that we experience on a daily basis. Ultimately, the rendering explores the theme of daydreaming as an escape from reality.
