Portals

​From time to time, I play around with making doors, invitations into portals that are entryways into the unknown. Here's one. I made the frame some time ago and recently shot some pictures of frost, then digitally altered and added them to make a final image. The sphere represents new realities to be discovered. What new world could be stepped into?

Portals are mysterious, enticing, and scary-what's on the other side? It's intriguing, to decide to open a door or to walk away. To choose what's familiar or to choose metamorphosis, with trust and courage? To follow curiosity, to take risks, to dream large?

​I like portals into dreamtime, into mindscapes where imagination thrives. Where else can you access the thoughtstream, to receive ideas and add intentions to it?

I like multidimensional, liminal spaces between worlds, ghostly, haunted and ripe with possibilities. I like portals in nature. Where else can you have a conversation with a tree, listen to a river's wisdom, see images in clouds or enter fairyland? Where else can you sense what goes on in seemingly empty spaces in the natural world, where energies and unseen forces are at play?
