The present doesn't exist

So, for this painting I think I will do a painting of a person playing the violin. There will be numbers and colors radiating like music and centered around a non-point that has a pin pointing to it. The goal of the painting is to recall the story of the man playing in the DC metro making $32 on a 3.5 million dollar violin while playing one of the most beautiful and intricate pieces ever written. Being completely unnoticed. His recent show was sold out for 100 dollars a seat.

I think the idea I want to communicate is that the present doesn't exist. We don't live in the present. That's impossible. But maybe we should try.
