How a portal is created

 

I take a lot of photos. Wherever I go, I take my camera with me.

 

Sometimes I get a special feeling — and then I know there's an image that wants to speak to me. I listen. I put aside all thoughts about composition, technique and settings. A lot of it is in my spine at this point, but it's not important at that moment. At that moment, it's the inner voice I follow. The one that's connected to everything around me.

 

I often take a lot of pictures, but I already know before I get home which one wanted to reach me. It feels like that moment.

 

During editing, I let the image dictate how it wants to be seen. Not the rules of art — the voice. Then I print it out in large format and let it rest in front of me. I sit down with it. I sense what it wants from me and what it might want from everyone who comes across it.

 

Together we seal a small seal about which codes it feels called to hold. It carries that memory frequency unwaveringly — a broad spectrum, but with a tone that sounds a little stronger.

 

Then I let it meet the person who recognizes it.
