This Valentine’s Day project, conceived by Charlyne Sanogo, explores the idea of transformation, reuse, and emotional value through objects. This thematic is part of her Alterism serie.

By reusing a set of existing keys and covering them with red and pink paint, she transforms functional objects into symbolic keepsakes, the “VALENTINE’S KEY.”

Objects that once fulfilled a practical role are modified, softened, and imbued with emotion, becoming symbols of love, connection, and memory.
