The Lost Key- the journey of a misfit

I was putting myself out, I had gathered all keys that were perfect in there own way but could not find it’s ideal lock or chose to not do so?
I could see myself in them, trying relentlessly to make myself understand that you are fine in your own way and yet failing. But this fight is what keeps me alive.
Whether we fit or not doesn’t matter, but we all do leave a certain impression. 

The collection of swatches experiments  in finding meaning in things that are loosing relevance. Whether it be in the flowers that are about to dry or the keys that have lost the ideal locks.
It inspires from nostalgic elements like fireflies that stick to mosquito nets or old maps with tea stains.
Or, Remember that old book you left that leaf to dry, and forgot the page number...
Somewhere down the line we all feel like these “leftovers” in some point in time.
What we don’t realise what miracles are we capable of creating even then. The little impressions we leave, the footprints we don’t stop to look back on, are rather a work of art themselves.
