As a direct reference to the painting ‘La Victoire’ by Rene Magritte. Port is a surreal gateway: a spiritual journey through the imagination. It is a key to unlocking ideas of the infinite as mused on by Aldous Huxley quoting Blake.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."
It simultaneously references Duchamp earlier work ‘11 Rue Larrey’ the door that is never open or shut.
