The Urban Portal Unveiled Project

A brick wall becomes the unlikely setting for a wormhole. In Urban Portal Unveiled, I bring street art, graffiti, and cosmic imagery together in textured mixed media canvases.

Resin and mica give the imagined portals a physical presence. The glow photographs offer another view of each work, keeping its familiar urban setting beside something much stranger.

A wall with somewhere else inside it

A wall usually marks a boundary. A portal suggests a way through. Placing them together creates a question: what might be waiting beyond a surface we think we already understand?

The two canvases explore that encounter in different compositions. Compare each piece’s actual light and glow photographs below.

Take a closer look

Select a photograph to open it larger. Follow the composition from the wall toward the portal, then switch views. Notice which details catch your eye and how the change in lighting alters your sense of depth.
