My design celebrates musical creativity. I chose a vibrant orange for the background because it feels like a color of expression, joy, and optimism. The sun and moon represent the dualities inherent in the instrument: the black and white keys, the left and right hands, and the gentle and bold moods that can be expressed. The synthesis of these oppositions can give life to infinite expressions of beauty, represented by the roses and the lemniscate.
