Portals explores the psychic, material, and spiritual states of life at the threshold. As a liminal and intermediary space, a portal is a channel between the earthly and divine, the conscious and the unconscious, as well as the material and dreamworld. In Persian, Urdu, and Arabic, darwazeh refers to a gate that reflects a spiritual point of transition.
