===> Symphony in DC Major By Zachary Oxman

This final sculpture in the series continues the dynamic, music-inspired theme with a burst of vivid color and abstract form. The central figure, painted in electric shades of purple, yellow, and blue, appears to be playing a wind instrument, possibly a trumpet or similar brass horn. The motion of the hands and arms, along with the flare of the coat, gives the piece an intense sense of action—like it’s frozen mid-performance at the peak of a powerful note.

The mirrored discs radiating outward from the head area suggest an explosion of sound or energy, much like the previous pieces. However, this sculpture leans more into expressionism, with its bold paint strokes and fluid shapes emphasizing feeling over form. The mirrored elements again reflect the surrounding scene, grounding the surreal design in the reality of the street environment while making the viewer part of the composition.

What stands out in this particular piece is the use of color and texture. The brush-like quality of the paint application gives it a raw, energetic vibe, reminiscent of street art or graffiti. It evokes the improvisational nature of jazz, reinforcing the connection between spontaneity and artistic expression. The sculpted motion of the coat's folds also adds to this visual rhythm.

Overall, this sculpture completes the trio with a flourish. While all three share structural similarities—mirrored metal, musical themes, and wall integration—this one leans hardest into visual chaos and vibrant energy. It’s a celebration of noise, passion, and movement, drawing viewers into the expressive pulse of live performance.

===> Symphony in DC Major By Zachary Oxman This sculpture presents a lively and whimsical figure dressed in a marching band uniform, with a face that suggests both playfulness and determination. Like the previous piece, it features mirrored fragments radiating from the figure’s head, creating a sense of explosive energy or music bursting forth. The figure's blue uniform with bright yellow buttons adds a bold splash of color against the dark brick background, drawing the viewer’s eye immediately.

The use of reflective surfaces again plays a key role, integrating the surrounding environment into the artwork and giving it a constantly shifting appearance depending on the time of day and angle of view. The curved metal rods framing the sculpture resemble musical staves, reinforcing the visual metaphor of sound or rhythm. This adds a kinetic energy, as if the figure is mid-march in a vibrant parade.

This piece seems to celebrate the spirit of performance and celebration—perhaps representing a drum major or parade leader guiding others in music and movement. The globe-like head, with aviator-style sunglasses and painted expression, offers a slightly surreal or even comic book-like quality. It’s imaginative and approachable, likely to delight both children and adults passing by.

Overall, the sculpture brings charm and animation to its urban setting. It complements the other installation well, suggesting that both may be part of a thematic series centered on music and expression. The mirrored elements unify the pieces while allowing each one to stand out through distinct costume, posture, and personality.

===> Symphony in DC Major By Zachary Oxman

This sculpture is a striking and imaginative piece of public art that captures the dynamic spirit of music in motion. Depicting a musician in a vivid purple jacket playing an abstract keyboard, the work bursts from the brick wall with bold energy. The exaggerated hands and sweeping pose convey a sense of passion and movement, as if the performer is lost in the music. The use of layered materials adds depth and draws the viewer into the scene, making the figure feel almost alive.

One of the most compelling aspects of the piece is its use of mirrored metal fragments, arranged to resemble musical notes or sound waves. These elements reflect the surrounding environment—sky, trees, buildings—making the sculpture interact with its space in real time. This clever use of reflective surfaces not only adds visual interest but also suggests how music is shaped by and reflects the world around us. The curving rods enhance this effect, giving the impression that the music is flowing outward and filling the air.

Symbolically, the sculpture touches on the transcendent nature of music. The head of the figure is replaced by a globe-like sphere surrounded by mirrored shards, perhaps suggesting that music is a universal language that connects people across cultures and experiences. The abstract style leaves room for interpretation, but it’s clear that the piece aims to celebrate creativity, emotion, and expression through sound.

Set against a dark brick wall, the sculpture stands out sharply, making excellent use of its urban setting. It's both playful and profound, inviting passersby to stop, reflect, and maybe even hear the echo of invisible melodies. Overall, it’s a thoughtful and energizing work that transforms an ordinary space into a moment of artistic engagement.
