Liminality, 2026

Steel, SBR Rubber

The installation Liminality explores the experience of a transitional state as both an existential and psychological space in which the artist finds himself suspended between an identity that has already dissolved and a transformation that has yet to take place. At its centre, the motif of a door functions as a universal metaphor for the threshold. Yet it deliberately rejects its conventional purpose: rather than leading from one space to another, it invites the viewer to remain within the moment of transition itself. Soft SBR rubber transforms the architectural object into a bodily membrane, marking the boundary between interior and exterior, between personal experience and social representation. The steel framework and its structural joints establish a rational system in which stability and change, control and uncertainty coexist.The work emerged from the artist’s reflections on life transitions, fatherhood, geopolitical instability, and the fragility of identity shaped by rapid technological change. Rather than focusing on transformation itself, the artist is concerned with the condition that precedes it—the moment when a former sense of self has already ceased to exist, while a new one has not yet fully emerged. Within this context, liminality becomes an opportunity to step back from the continuous demands of self-representation and to experience the self not as a fixed social role, but as a process of constant becoming. The work ultimately examines the artist’s relationship with uncertainty, proposing it not as an obstacle, but as an essential condition for personal transformation.
