Ifreann’s Key is a sculpture inspired by dark pagan rituals and ancient beliefs of druids and shamans. Its fractured, glistening surface and gilded markings give it the character of a recovered artefact. The carved inscription in ancient Aramaic hints at a forgotten purpose, turning the piece into a dark, moody statement sculpture that feels less made than unearthed.
Inspiration & Notes
Inspiration is drawn from idolatry, the cross. It is like a relic from the video game DOOM Eternal.
