Shadows Know the Tune

In this moody, charcoal-toned scene, silhouettes of musicians gather beneath flickering street lamps, their forms blending into the narrow walls of the French Quarter. Wrought-iron balconies drip with age and history, while light and shadow play like quiet notes in the air. The piece captures New Orleans after dark—where music doesn’t need a stage, only a street corner, and where stories are carried not by faces, but by sound, memory, and movement.
