This work explores liminality—existing at thresholds where boundaries blur and certainties dissolve. These "in between" territories have pulled at me for as long as I can remember, long before I had language to name them. Through photography, digital manipulation, and durational practice, this work makes visible the threshold moments that define human existence but often go unwitnessed.
The technical approach mirrors the conceptual framework. The analog film process embodies liminality through its chemical transformations—light burning through emulsion just as experience burns through consciousness. Blur, light leaks, overexposure, and digital fragmentation serve as visual metaphors for the instability of perception and identity. Rather than seeking sharp clarity, the work acknowledges that all representation is partial, that meaning hovers between recognition and mystery. In our digital age of pristine definition, these images insist on the value of ambiguity—on truths found in what remains beautifully, necessarily unclear. We are always in motion, always approaching but never quite arriving.
Through sustained attention to threshold experiences—in individual lives, technological systems, natural cycles, the passage of light—this work validates liminal spaces as worthy of wonder rather than discomfort. Rather than seeing liminality as a problem to solve, it reveals threshold space as perhaps the most honest territory of human experience. The spaces we usually overlook or hurry through might be where we most authentically live—always becoming, always moving but never arriving, finding meaning in the journey itself.
