Artist Statement: Triangulated lines dissect the piano into an abstract constellation of color fields. And connected corners and gradient of color fields interweave and represent the power of community coming together through art and music. In exploring aggregated power of diverse individuals and communities breathing life to this vibrant city, lines and boundaries of constellation symbolize connections and delineate spaces we occupy every day.
