Summary:
Series of faces, that repeat around the outside wall of the concert hall. These faces depict four different moods: melancholy, happy, calm and surprise. Each face wears earrings, a hat and a collar, possibly made to look like African tribal attire. Each tile has two faces that oppose each other along the vertical axis, making a reflection-like image.
