Discover the enchanting entrance to Lotus Living in Oeiras, where a striking sculpture gracefully stand, beckoning residents into the heart of the Jardim Miraflores residential complex. This sculpture, fashioned as silhouettes of keys and keyholes, symbolises the profound ability to unlock or seal alternate universes – a metaphorical power that safeguards and controls narratives. Crafted from commonplace materials like cement, sand, water, and rebar, these sculptures exhibit a deliberate porosity, evoking the aesthetic of corrosion and weathering. The intentional use of these materials, coupled with recurring references to human body parts like crossed fingers and footprints, underscores the artist’s intent to guide the audience through a collective journey of shared experiences.
