Windows isolate us from their other side but simultaneously give us a glimpse into that area—portals between two sides. My inspiration for "Portals" came from slide 1, a photo I took near the beginning of the pandemic when I, like many others, felt isolated from others. The window helps to signify that disconnect. Almost two years later, I've realized that windows serve as connectors, just as they do dividers. They allow a glimpse into a scene, freezing that moment in time. From this idea, my question was created. How do windows serve as dividers and portals between spaces? I began this investigation by attempting to create isolated scenes within buildings (1-7). I then began to experiment with reflections within the framed scenes (4-5). When doing so, I discovered that shooting at night time limits reflections within the windows and allows me to focus on reflections inside the building. I shifted my experimentation to the effect of shooting from the inside of the building to the out to vary the amount of context provided surrounding the window (8-10). In my final image, I combined many of these strategies to give a glimpse into the car as it moves down the road.
