The portal between the empress and the emperor.
Instinct and embodied wildness come into relationship with the structured and rational. As a wedded pair they create the container for the journey ahead.

Set amongst the stability and enduring presence of trees, cloaked in the imagery of the masculine and feminine from the magician and high priestess dyad. A group of women move in and out of elemental forms inspired by traditional embodiment practices; yoga and qi gong. They embody the elements as individuals and as a group. Timeless and ephemeral, steady, yet ever changing.
Music
Micheal Hewitt
The music of PORTALS is layered, each room only playing certain notes, melodies, and elements. This layer is full of optimism as it signals the first steps in a long journey of deep exploration.
