The Key as unique symbols of connection between the past and the future, the known and the unknown
metal marquetry
Collection of lost keys found in the street
This project explores the symbolism of keys found by coincidence in the street, objects that are both everyday and mysterious, carrying invisible stories. By reinventing their function, keys become not only openings to the unknown but also locks in themselves, each key being unique and irreplaceable. The key thus becomes a metaphor for the link between past and future, the known and the unexplored.
