A visual conversation about conformity, freedom, and the shifting nature of your own "truth"
In its truest sense, a liminal space is a threshold—a place between where you were and where you are going, suspended in the ambiguity of transition. It is neither here nor there, a pause in the journey where the old rules no longer fully apply, yet the new ones have not yet formed.
The "Liminal Spaces" collection pulses with colour and texture—rich, impasto layers of paint that feel almost sculpted from emotion itself. Broad, deliberate brushstrokes form intricate frameworks in varying sizes, creating grids, lattices, and fragmented enclosures that both anchor and divide the composition. Some works hold their structure with architectural precision, while others allow the lines to fracture and drift, as if the framework itself is questioning its boundaries—always suggesting the quiet beauty that lives between order and release
Liminal Spaces as a collection is a meditation on this elusive state and on the invisible scaffolding of life—the boundaries, frameworks, and unspoken agreements that shape our movements long before we are aware of them. These structures, often inherited rather than chosen, can be both shelter and constraint. Within them, we navigate the familiar; outside them, we risk uncertainty, disapproval, or exile.
Yet, it is in these in-between places that transformation lives. Neither fully within the lines nor entirely beyond them, this is where identity is tested, fear is confronted, and courage is born. The collection asks: What happens when we allow ourselves to dwell in the threshold? Can stepping outside the framework lead us closer to our truth?
Each work becomes an allegory for this quiet rebellion—a visual conversation about conformity, freedom, and the shifting nature of truth. Liminal Spaces does not simply challenge boundaries; it invites us to reimagine them, turning rigid lines into living, evolving forms.
