Liminal Phase explores the evolving nature of the stories we tell ourselves; narratives that provide comfort and identity, but which can also become burdensome over time. As these stories grow more complex, we may begin to question them, entering a liminal phase: a transitional space where meaning unravels, identity shifts, and certainty dissolves.
The sculptural works in this exhibition symbolize the weight of discarded worldviews; beliefs once held close but ultimately outgrown. There’s a contradiction within them: though stories are made of fragile ideas and words, they can become as heavy and confining as concrete.
Alongside the sculptures, the animation Shed (2023) plays on a continuous loop, illustrating the fluid, often disorienting process of transformation.
This exhibition reflects on the instability of constructed realities, the fragility of perception, and the breakdown and rebuilding of identity. It suggests that “I am […]” or “We are […]” is not a fixed truth but a continuous state of becoming. In uncertain times, shaped by shifts in technology, power, economy, and cultural inheritance, new narratives begin to form. This threshold space is unstable yet full of possibility, where old structures fall away and something new begins to take shape.
