The Quest

Inspired by the movie and novel “Extremely loud & incredibly close”, where a boy is looking for the owner of a key which he found in a cupboard of his deceased father. Creating the piece I got inspired by any quest in life; the quest for identity, the quest for truth, the quest for liberty… Our life is full of quests and it is what gives life a purpose. May it even be the quest for a meaning…
