The Gateway — Fine Art Poem Print
The Gateway is a fully realised fusion of poetry, architecture, and visual narrative — a piece designed not simply to be read, but to be entered.
Set within a stone archway at the threshold between shadow and light, the viewer is drawn along a winding path toward a distant citadel suspended above the clouds. At the doorway stands a solitary figure — not as a subject, but as a mirror. The journey ahead is not hers alone.
The accompanying poem unfolds as a guided passage through temptation, discernment, and inner knowing. Each stanza forms a stage of progression, culminating in a single question that turns the gaze inward:
There’s a mirror — tell me; what do you see?
This is not decorative art.
It is a gateway artefact — a contemplative piece that invites stillness, reflection, and return.
