Completed in 2002, The Key is installed at the main entrance of 219 Park in Anshan, Liaoning Province.
The design draws on an interpretation of Anshan’s geographical outline as resembling a key. This regional form is transformed into a monumental vertical sculpture marking the entrance to the park.
The outer body is cast in dark bronze, creating a solid and clearly recognizable silhouette. Irregular openings cut through the central and lower sections, where delicate metal mesh structures are inserted. The contrast between the heavy bronze mass and the translucent mesh produces two opposing spatial conditions: solidity and openness.
As daylight passes through the hollow areas, the sculpture changes with the position of the sun, producing shifting patterns of light and shadow. The key is therefore presented not only as a fixed urban symbol, but also as a structure activated by its surrounding environment.
Placed at the threshold of the park, the work connects the image of the key with ideas of entrance, access, and the opening of a new urban space.
《钥匙》创作于2002年，设置于辽宁鞍山219公园正门入口处。
作品根据当时项目对鞍山市域轮廓的意象化理解，将其转化为一把竖立的大型钥匙，并以此作为公园入口的城市标志。
雕塑主体采用深色铸铜，形成厚重、明确的钥匙外部轮廓。主体中部与下部设置不规则镂空，并在内部嵌入细密的金属网状结构。坚实的铜质体量与通透的网面形成对比，使作品同时具有封闭与开放、重量与轻盈两种空间特征。
随着日光穿过镂空部分，作品内部及周围地面会产生不断变化的光影。钥匙因此不只是一个静止的城市符号，也成为一件能够被自然光线持续激活的空间结构。
作品位于公园入口，以“钥匙”所具有的开启、进入与通达之意，回应城市公共空间的门户属性。
