The Hidden Key
Within a cracked, stone-like white shape, a key, a triangle and a circle are carved like symbols on an ancient seal. Above, black night is crossed by dashed white lines and spirals; below, the warm earth glows terracotta. It is the companion piece to The Key of Passage, its colours reversed. Together they tell one story: every secret has a key, and every key has its secret.
