I was intrigued by this privilege that metaphors enable us to experience and desired to appreciate these qualities by metaphorically solidifying the beneficial features of metaphors which enrich our communication. In this regard, these are illustrated figuratively and incorporate keys, chains, frames, bubbles, sleeves, and collars. Each of these metaphors represent various aspects of analogies and helps me to convey my message to the audience. The project is an ode to metaphors, figuratively describing the admiration we have for their existence and the values we enjoy.
