I painted this one for a Pride auction last year. I had a long description in the auction catalog but here, I’ll let everyone decide for themselves what “intersections” means to them.

I’m glad you asked that.
For me, the door is considering the world you’re introduced to, the expected path and course. You approach an open door as if it is leading you directly somewhere, but, often, it is instead a battlefield, a dance of strategy and sacrifices whose rules and steps feel obscure and obfuscating. Beyond the game, what’s really out there? What is really gained or lost or learned? Do we really even figure out the destination once we get past the door or do we just try to navigate the game board while making whatever sense we can of what lies in the distance.
Thanks. I want sure about the space beyond the chess board. I saw possibilities of the fire and chess board, some similar to what you said. I think the door could have many interpretations, like opening to possibilities, or opening to many other things. It could also be a closing door, shutting off some part of life or some past. It’s good to hear what the artist had in mind. Thanks.
