$44.00

You Are the Portal -- Series A body is the first thing we see. It is beautiful, but it is only the vessel. Across these three pieces, the figure's face gives way to a tangle of lines: thoughts, memories, questions, and the inner life no one can fully see from the outside. Each view asks us to look beyond her appearance and consider the soul experiencing life through that body. You Are the Portal is about the observer within us and the world we carry within our minds. The portal is not somewhere we need to find. It is already here. II. The Vessel 8.5x11 in. print, hand-finished with gold leaf She faces us, and we are invited to notice her beauty. Then our eyes move upward, where her face becomes a dense weave of lines. The Vessel begins with the body: the form that lets us touch, move, feel, and experience this life. The gold portal frames her without defining her. There is so much more to this woman that what we can see. Her body carries the story; it is not the whole story.
