Story
Zoey, a name that means “life”, was designed by Saraf to show the beauty of nature and as a celebration of life. “I feel my mission as an artist is the enhance the beauty of the world by creating exclusive, sustainable and eco-friendly works of art for the compassionate art loving communities across various cultures around the globe,” said Saraf. “I feel our life is so beautiful because of the variety of colors around us and because of the different people, cultures, climates, and geographical locations that exist around the world. I believe in creating artwork that is soothing, refreshing and positive, and I strive for my work to always portray peace, and make people feel happy and motivated.”
The piano will live permanently in its new home outside of the East Roswell Recreation Center as both a visual and euphonic piece of art in the park.
