Beneath a glass dome, a bouquet of antique keys stands suspended in time. Once guardians of secrets and passageways, these keys are now “locked away,” while the doors they once opened have been released—leaving only imagination and freedom behind.
Each key, shaped by history and patina, is carefully mounted on a metal stem and set into a natural wood base. The whole composition forms an airy, enigmatic sculpture that invites reflection on the ideas of passage, freedom, and memory.
