At its centre, two keys cross within a field of individually painted symbols, lines and markings, creating an object reminiscent of an ancient seal, celestial map or artefact of unknown purpose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe two keys belong symbolically to Castor and Pollux—the Dioscuri of ancient Greek mythology. Castor was mortal, while Pollux carried divine immortality. When death separated them, Pollux refused an existence that excluded his brother, and the twins came to share their existence between different realms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin Clavis Arcana, their story becomes an exploration of duality: mortal and immortal, earthly and celestial, visible and invisible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTwo keys.
