Passageway, Fatehpur Sikri, India, 2008

Fatehpur Sikri is an abandoned labyrinth of sandstone galleries, pavilions, and structures that once served as Emperor Akbar imperial palace. I bring this passageway to life by relating a couple of tourists to the magnificent architecture and spectacular colors of this place. As one glides through space, the other seemingly supports one of a thousand doors that have stood open for 400 years.

These humans could represent those who once walked these corridors of power 400 years ago. So they could also be seen as ghosts of the past, rather than lost in the past.

The humans are lost amid history.
