Lowkey began with two house-like forms of dyed paper raised on stilts.. As I worked, they started to feel less like buildings and more like stand-ins, visual metaphors, for humanity. Their doors hang slightly open and their windows glow like watchful eyes, suggesting personalities suspended in quiet conversation.

From the surrounding turbulence, two hands emerge as one passes a key to the other. The gesture is simple but carries weight for me; trust offered, access granted, the possibility of opening what was once closed. The hands both arise from and dissolve back into the chaos, like intentions surfacing briefly from deeper emotional currents.

Above the houses hovers a radiant spiral, something between a sun, a planet, and the slow gathering of a deep thought. I think of it as a quiet gravitational presence shaping the moment below.

The houses, like masks, stand in for the human psyche: protective structures holding private interior worlds while presenting a visible face to others. In Lowkey, connection happens quietly; when one person offers another the key.
