Angular arms splay outward like frozen semaphore signals, mounted against a fractured ground of warm stone and oxidized brass. At the center, a round key labeled "NO SALE" boldly interrupts the notion of commerce. This piece speaks not just to transaction, but to refusal—of value, of closure, of simplicity.
