My work depicts a door of standard height that articulates an illusory collapse. Symbolically and metaphorically, it can both open a portal and act as a physical boundary that transitions us from one world to another, from one state to another, straddling the line between fantasy and reality. The material I used is solid pine, which I shaped with an angle grinder and other hand tools.
