Unlock the unseen.

This handcrafted display features two real cicadas preserved in a gilded frame, paired with ornate gold keys and scattered pearls resting on rich teal velvet. Cicadas - symbols of transformation, resurrection, and timeless song - guard the dual keys at the center of this mystical composition. Their wings echo the vibration of ancient rhythms, while the pearl accents evoke sacred silence and inner truth.

A visual poem in gold and ink-black with earthy undertones, this piece is both a talisman and a conversation between worlds. Whether you’re drawn to its mythic symbolism or its striking aesthetic, this work holds a quiet power, a portal to whatever you’ve been seeking.
