The "Crossroads" project (in the Transit Lounge, Doha International Airport, Qatar) creates an intersection between two streams of human existence: the living reality of travelers encountering the work laterally as they walk along its length, with virtual figures pulsating in the heat of the desert, emerging from mirages and advancing toward the travelers. As they approach, each figure crosses a threshold from mirage to clarity as it moves toward the viewer, making visible their humanity and individuality, from young to old, from all cultures and races, with the endless dunes of the desert in the distance.
