A circular stained glass mosaic with bright blues, orange-red, and lemon-yellow on a clay-colored MDF base. In the center, a curvilinear yellow abstracted human figure with their arms raised up above their head. There is a deep ocean-blue egg-shaped form centered on their belly. The figure is surrounded by blue/green drums, which lay atop a red background. Silver musical notes float nearby. (Charles Eppley)
