Artist's Description

The fencing around Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Montmartre is home to thousands of symbols of romance known as "love locks." The ritual appeared in Paris over a decade ago after originating in Asia. Parisians and foreign visitors wrote their names with a love message and the date on a padlock. They attached the lock to a fence or some other structure, then threw the key into the Seine, supposedly sealing their love forever. Beginning in 2015, railings loaded with love locks were removed throughout the city. It was believed the weight of the locks was causing structures to suffer damage or even crumble. In fact, one bridge was reportedly covered in locks weighing a total of 45 tons. More 700,000 keys may be at the bottom of the Seine.
