A viewer approaching the small window (a ½ thick slab of ulexite crystal) will find, at one precise angle, the image of a portal flanked by two winged angels with reflected light in the dark distance. The visual technique here is similar to the fiber optic images is used in Canal Dreams and The Vagus Leviathan. The ulexite crystal is a natural analog version of fiber optic glass, transmitting light in only one direction and bringing the image behind it to the surface. The great philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti’s famous statement, “Truth is a pathless land,” was the inspiration for this one.
