Uphill the threads rise,
each path its own becoming,
the portal awaits.
Portal Paths explores the idea of movement toward transformation. Each raised thread bends upward toward a luminous ring, suggesting both gravity and ascent — a passage that might lead to another place, another time, or a deeper sense of self. The work asks a question rather than offering an answer: Which path are you on?
The accompanying poem echoes the rhythm of the stitched lines — deliberate, curved, and open-ended — mirroring the sense of journey and quiet determination in the work. Together, the piece and poem invite the viewer to pause, to trace their own path toward light, and to imagine what lies beyond the threshold.
This piece is created just with embroidery thread. It’s mounted in a custom made shadow box with non-glare acrylic glazing. The size is 13.25 × 13.25 x 1.25 in (335 × 335 x 35 mm)
