Self portraits from The Portal’s Keeper series are inspired by the McMillian's video installation, Spirit and Child. Each portrait represents an exchange of healing and gratitude between avatars called the Child and the Spirit Guide, created using motion-capture and 3D-modeling software. As the two avatars share philosophies and prayers seeking to help “Black children trying to find their way home,” they confirm that home lies within themselves—the children are already there.
