Windows - on being Liminal

These are windows - abstracted. Each window has its own point of view. A few years back I did a series of pieces on being “liminal.” This new piece is a “throwback” to that series, inspired by some current events.

The word “liminal” comes from the Latin root, limen, which means “threshold.” The liminal space is the “crossing over” space – a space where you have left something behind, yet you are not yet fully in something else. It's a transition space.  There is a theory that our best creativity comes through when we are liminal. Great growth occurs. In this case, windows are used as a symbol of liminality instead of a doorway. This piece has sold.
