This minimalist piece explores the intersection of body and sound. I portrayed a black silhouette — part woman, part thought — resting on a white piano. The figure is reduced to essential lines: a hand, legs, high heels. The piano, abstracted, becomes both an object and a presence.
The composition is built on contrast — black and white, stillness and rhythm, silence and music.
Red accents bring a pulse to the quiet, a trace of feeling beneath control.  It’s about the intimacy between a human and the instrument — how the hand lingers, how the leg extends, how form becomes emotion.
The absence of detail allows the viewer to fill in the rest — a memory, a mood, a moment.
The work speaks in pauses. It’s about suggestion, not clarity. A black figure on a white piano, and yet — more than that.
A visual note held long after the sound is gone.
