You're neither coming nor going, but you can't stay here. Transient places like airports are ripe for transcendental experiences. As my latest interests have led down the path of quantum physics and the space-time continuum, I can't help but conceptualize in that unknown. Portals is a series where the 'Fifth Element' encounters the Matrix, in a space based that we deem reality although there is magic happening all around us- skipping days ahead or going back in time. Airports mess with human's sense of time, your circadian rhythm, with our perception of what we believe to be reality.  It has become ubiquitous, but we take for granted how complex it really is.
