DESCRIPTION
Do you know what it means to wear a key around your neck? Some people choose to wear keys as a fashion statement or as a reminder of a particular accomplishment. Others could wear it as a symbol of defense. In Romania, leaving the kids unsupervised at home during the 1970s and the 1980s was common, because both parents were employed. Once you were 7 years old, you were considered “old” enough to wield the keys to your family's home. The 1990s were a decade of transition and change. I was a child of the eighties.
