“Aria” is a testament to the silence and art of music. It resonates with symbols as strong today as it was then: symbols that seek harmony while at the same time ringing with undertones of a constant struggle to improve and perfect the present of ideals.

The central figure is a woman, carefree with arms flung upwards and gazing towards the heavens. This symbolizes the blissful actualization of music as an art form… ever trading new grounds, ever longing for new and better concretization of music as means of appreciating the gift of life.

The pedestal is composed of five swirling pillars, one each for every line in a musical staff. These swirling pillars are ever changing, yet exact… ever flowing, yet precise. For such is the nature of music as a science. It is an unforgiving system rigorously built up on the imperfections of life perpetually striving towards harmony and consonance.

The base is made up of gothic arches. Just as gothic arches used to uphold the scaffolds of cathedrals in eternal testimony to God’s magnificence, so do these long reaching yet sinuous arches stand to enshrine the science and art of music – Music as a gift of life, music as a way of life, music as life.
