PUBLIC ART  PIANOS

SING FOR HOPE, "ISLAND ELEVATION/UNDULATION" 2023

Little Island, New York City (Summer 2023). Artist: Julia Cocuzza

About the design: This design reflects its surrounding environment: Little Island’s swirling warm and cool breeze, Hudson River’s undulating movement below, and New York City’s many stacked layers of elevation (both literally and figuratively). An abstract convergence of energy that suggests all the natural elements (air, water, earth, and fire) as it collides with urban urgency. The fragmented bits of sharp topographic lines and rippling swathes of color create a buzzing sense of perpetual movement, while simultaneously feeling calm and organic. Organized, peaceful, and hectic all at once, the design fits the overall mood of both Little Island as well as the creative process of making music.
