Located on the west side of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel on Central Avenue is a 144-foot-mural titled “Timeless,” completed by graffiti artist Clyde. Each hour of the day, the mural changes as shadows are cast from the overhanging shade structure while the sun moves across the sky. What does the key in the crystal mean? Here’s a note from the artist with a little insight: “A girl has discovered a glass prism containing a key while wandering through a canyon. On the key is a serial number, which are actually three engraved dates. These represent each year the hotel was rebuilt (twice due to fires and once from a demolition and rebuild). At the very end of the mural after following along the canyon wall, the city of Phoenix skyline appears in the distance, begging the question, “Where will the key take the girl, and what doors will it open up for her?”
