This work came along when I was shooting my Paper Cuts project, focused above all on monochrome, of the color blue in this case. It was shot at a commuter train station in Helsinki, Finland, and takes advantage of its unique design. When I saw those round windows I immediately thought of 2 things: 1) they reminded me of a portal of some kind, a portal to a parallel world, the world of our imagination 2) the shape, when viewed from the side became oval and became a classic oval portrait frame, perhaps 200 years ago a person could carry a small portrait like that on his or her neck in a locket. That could be a portrait of someone near and dear. I thought in this case it might be a portrait or an image of a better self, the one perhaps you're striving to become.
