The Portal is a one-of-a-kind ceramic sculpture by Ukrainian ceramicist Aleksandra Krasnopolska. "This sculpture is from the series "Body", about my personal journey to accept my body as the temple of my soul. Accepting my femininity, loving and enjoying my body without shame, fear, or negative beliefs. It represents my long journey of becoming a woman."

Krasnopolska's sculptures are biomorphic, seeming to slide and shift as you walk around them. The sculptures are made using a process that the artist refers to as "intuitive modeling." As a result, every piece is a form of meditation. Krasnopolska often visits the beach to watch the water, the birds, and the clouds. These experiences, along with the antique furniture and gilded mirrors she encounters on her travels, inform her sculptures and ceramics. "Nature is the best painter and sculptor; I will learn from it all my life," she says.
