New installation "some snow scenes" Countless spheres, designed to resemble gently drifting snow, will convey a range of winter scenes. These scenes will include moments of silent and profound snowfall, as well as cold and blustery snowstorms. As time passes, the snow will gradually melt, forming icicles. When the light emanating from the icicles drop on the piano keyboard, it triggers the production of musical notes from the piano, which represent the passage of time as we await the arrival of spring. Additionally, this musical composition will allow us to savor the beauty of the current winter moment.
