Styrofoam base with black felt over it to reflect the piano keyboard.

The piano keyboard is carved from styrofoam in a whimsical way. The black keys are covered with black felt and the white keys are covered with white felt because those are the colors on the actual piano.

The key of D in the left hand is being played (pressed down) with the word passion, and in the right hand a chord is being played (3 notes) B, D, F#,  with the words determination, sadness, and hope.

The sticks are holding the piano keyboard attaching it to the base. I'm leaving the sticks uncovered to show the wood because in a real piano, the hammer mechanism that allows the piano to make sounds is made out of wood.

In the background are silhouettes of people playing the piano.
