“There was always something magical about entering the world of a library: the smell of the books; the list of anonymous names stamped on each library card; the silent glances between bookworms, each on their own secret journey… I imagine this piece to be the key to a mythical library. A talismanic object I carry with me to unlock this place in my mind.“ - R.M.
