Portal is part of a series of sculptural objects exploring the process of wood carving as excavation. This collection of wall reliefs focuses on unearthing seemingly mundane observations and feelings through abstract shapes carved out of a single block of wood. Each piece memorializes something in particular: an everyday object, a small gesture, a fleeting moment, a shared memory, or a specific time and place.
