Beneath the Surface
This series of doors is dedicated to my Dad. He loved small details of architecture especially door knobs and keys. I found this jar of keys when we were organizing his tool bench. When I see an opening, I see the entire space. The texture of the wall that surrounds it, the door itself, and the small details such as the handle or key hole. The key is a symbol to try and be open to what lyes beneath the surface. What good is the doorway if you can’t open it? As you put the key in and grab the handle, what do you see inside? Do you feel the warmth of the space or feel uneasy? I try not to judge anything by the outside appearance because my Dad taught me to always look beneath the surface.
