“Nothing without concerts” (“without” arranged as a vertical word stack)—rendered with immense gratitude through the piano-playing hands of international pianist Tatjana Worm Sawosskaja—radiates hope. A grand piano serving as a gateway to answers. The isolated trio at the end of a terminal station platform—physically hauled there by bicycle on a lockdown morning at 4:30 AM, the bike hanging from the handlebars.
The digitally altered masks, symbolizing this phase, evoke Matisse in their artistic rendering—albeit unintentionally. The string instruments—deprived of concerts—feel isolated; yet they come together, uniting the location and the event in their expression.
