Passageways- Akeilah Clark

This door belongs to a house in Huanchaco, Peru. I love this door and the house it belongs to, shrouded in mystery it piques the interest of the house's many visitors. The house itself is mysterious, with a central courtyard and staircase to the second level, there are many doors and corridors that spread from this central point. It is beautifully carved and designed with a figure that beckons one to enter. This door leads to a spiral staircase that takes you up to a lantern which overlooks the neighborhood with a view to the ocean. When visiting Peru I noticed that front doors seem representative of the people that live behind them. So often in Peru there are houses that are plain in construction but are painted and ornamented with personality and style, with a front door unique from those that surround it. I never saw two doors alike.
