This work is part of Muniz's Earthworks collection which has been featured in various exhibits throughout the U.S. and also internationally. Other Earthworks pieces include a pair of scissors, pipe and footprints among others. This is an interesting piece because its actually sculpted into the natural terrain as seen from the aerial picture. The photo allows the viewer to understand the true magnitude of this work by being able to compare the size of the cars to the Key itself. There's hills and valleys surrounding the work of art which adds to the natural element aspect of Muniz's Key. Obviously it took great precision in order to create this work , it was carefully planned out because any small mistake would force Muniz to start from scratch. I like this work because its unlike most other pieces, there's no paint or art studio that was necessary the artist simply used his natural surroundings as his canvas.
