The Himalayan region boasts a rich tapestry of art and culture. The extreme cold of the world's highest mountain range adds an air of mystery to this area. Tibetan Buddhism is one of the region's most distinctive cultural features which is seeking enlightenment, the ultimate state of spiritual awakening and liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. So for this art challenge, I want to create a work based on Tibetan Buddhism.

Story background:
Legend has it that in the extreme cold of the Himalayas, there is a temple that holds the secret of the world's cycle of life and rebirth. Regardless of their motives, this temple has become a place that people spend their whole lives trying to reach.

Basic idea：
The 3D prop I want to create is the key to open the temple's door.
This is not a traditional key; it consists of two main parts. The outer ring is formed by four fan-shaped pieces that fit together like a puzzle, inspired by traditional Chinese mortise and tenon joints, to create a complete circle. The center features a mask inspired by a Tibetan Buddhist deity associated with life. Inserting the deity key into the circular outer ring and rotating it will open the temple door.
