On April 2nd, 2008, Lang Lang, the young, famed pianist from China, performed at Hill Auditorium. With binoculars in one hand and a pen in the other, a series of blind contours unfolded which I later recomposed in this painting. Tickets and selections played by Lang Lang are worked into the collage as are two special Israeli stamps. One commemorates the Hebrew alphabet and is reminiscent of a story where the letters rise up to find their meaning in heaven just as the powerful performance of this musician raises one's spirit.
