From the artist:

"The visual arts and reading have a great commonality in their ability to transport the participant to a place where the spirit is elevated and upon careful listening, the soul can be heard. My intention with this particular work is to create an envionment for an urban setting to facilitate this wonderous and integral process of our lives."
