Story TWO: “A Suitcase Full of Music, a City Full of Stories”

Some places don’t just exist; they speak... or hum...

New York hums with its own rhythm—a symphony of footsteps, honking taxis, and whispered ambitions.

The b&w photo taken by Florin quite a few years back captures a moment outside the Lyceum Theatre, just before stepping into seeing "Inherit the Wind" with - what a treat! - Christopher Plummer and Brian Dennehy.

The motion of a taxi, the quiet reader on the balcony, the glow of the marquee—each element tells a different story of New York’s rhythm. But now, a new traveler has arrived. A saxophone and suitcase—symbols of music, movement, and untold journeys—find themselves framed in this scene, bridging time and space.

In a city where every street corner could be a stage, where every dreamer carries a melody, this saxophone has found its place.

It leans against a weathered suitcase, perhaps belonging to a wandering musician, a jazz storyteller, or a traveler who never stays too long.

Like the heartbeat of the city, music lingers in the air, timeless and untamed. The travelling artwork, nestled in this urban scene, echoes the soul of New York—where notes dance through the night and every arrival is the start of a new song.
