"Someone with a broken knee gets off the tram and their seat is taken by another person, also with a broken knee."

A moment passes and you find yourself staring at the door, supposing the number of limping people getting on the vehicle is stuck on a loop. You might think you've heard this one before. You might have an idea of what happens next. Your assumptions may or may not turn out to be true.

The focal point of 'key' revolves around repetition; a sequence developed, echoed, then disarranged. Try closing your eyes and imagining two people sitting across a wooden table conversing in patterns on a shared piece of paper. One pencil drawing a design, another disrupting it, going over the edges. Just when you start sensing what might follow, the sequence breaks and you find yourself being led in another direction.

Notice the images moving past your ears: a story told with a soft voice, a murmur, a hazy memory, a song that sticks with you throughout the day, but you can't recall its name or the artist who performed it, and there's no need to check. 

After reaching your destination, get on your feet, feel your knees cracking. Leave the tram, cherishing this hint of uncertainty.
