My travel photography exhibition “Portugal Unveiled: Through the Doors of Time“, recently launched featuring Portugal’s vintage portals and it coincided beautifully with the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. The Solar Eclipse is recognized as a powerful time of change and new beginnings allowing for a new portal to open.

Through this exhibition, I aim to take viewers on a captivating journey, revealing the layers of Portugal’s history through the enchanting lens of time-worn portals. “Portugal Unveiled” invites you to explore the symbolism of these doors, encouraging you to look beyond their physicality and discover the stories they carry.

Doors are not just physical barriers; they are also gateways to new possibilities and experiences. Just as we explore the symbolism of Portugal’s vintage doors, we can reflect on the doors we encounter daily — the opportunities that present themselves, the challenges that may seem like closed doors, and the potential for growth and change.

Growing up in a Portuguese immigrant household in America, where caution was often the norm, I found myself hesitant to embrace new opportunities, often times even sabotaging my own chances for growth. As I grew older, I became more aware of my deeper shadows and embarked on a journey to understand the laws of the universe and the transformative power of positive thinking. This current Solar Eclipse offers a unique opportunity to release old patterns and embrace fresh starts, recognizing that every shadow holds the potential for rebirth and evolution.

Essentially, the exhibition serves as a call to action, urging you to view life’s opportunities with curiosity and optimism. By decoding the symbolism of doors, whether in the exhibit or in your personal journey, you can move beyond the physical and enter a realm of limitless possibilities—a tribute to the doors ready to be opened and the stories yet to unfold.

The exhibition will be hosted in Lunenburg, Massachusetts at the Lunenburg Public Library (Wallace Community Room) from April 6 to May 6, showcasing a collection of captivating photographs that explore the symbolism of Portugal’s vintage doors.

There is an opening reception scheduled for Saturday, April 13^th from 12 – 2 PM, where attendees can view the exhibition and enjoy light refreshments. RSVP is encouraged for the reception.

Life questions to ponder…

1. Imagine a doorway. What lies beyond it is everything your soul truly desires. What does that look like?

2. Stepping through that doorway, living aligned with your soul and heart, what would disappear from your life?

3. What actions can you take now in your human life to create the scenario for stepping through that doorway?

Wishing you a joyful total Solar Eclipse experience filled with lots of wonderful surprises!
