The Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is welcoming a new art installation by Atlanta-based artist and designer T.W. Pilar.

Her works are called “Portals,” and they use the materials of nature alongside the refuse of industry, as well as photography and optical illusion, to transport the viewer’s senses and imagination before they embark on their journeys in the sky. Her installation series “Portals” is on view at the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport for the next six months, and Pilar recently joined Lois Reitzes on “City Lights” to discuss the upcoming installation and her current art practice.
