I only recently heard the term that describes these places that are so full of possibility. On the morning walk to my office, I inevitably walk through a parking garage. Depending on the weather, I stride along a tree-lined sidewalk or the long, subterranean tunnels. At this time of day, it is very rare that I encounter anyone. My mind enjoys this wandering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liminal Space Defined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> <p><em>1:\u00a0of, relating to, or situated at a sensory threshold\u00a0:\u00a0barely perceptible or capable of eliciting a responseliminal\u00a0visual stimuli<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><p><em>2:\u00a0of, relating to, or being an intermediate state, phase, or condition\u00a0:\u00a0IN-BETWEEN,\u00a0TRANSITIONAL\u2026 in the\u00a0liminal\u00a0state between life and death<\/em>.<\/p>  <a href=\"http:\/\/Meriam-Webster Dictionary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Meriam-Webster Dictionary<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where It Takes Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon first hearing the term, it quickly became a concept that I kept in mind. This phrase captured the sense of wonder, opportunity, and, at times, fear that certain places inspire. It is a rare walk through these spaces that I am not envisioning how I will light the model. What are they wearing? Should I gel the lights? Do I stick with the obvious composition or find the odd angle that carries this from liminal space to eerily fantastic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having painted the initial scene in my mind, I ponder when the best time would be to utilize the space. What other liminal spaces exist nearby? Would they offer a similar feel or do we twist the plot? Here, where others might be out right bored, I find a certain magic. The lines, shapes, and color (or lack thereof) sing a siren&#8217;s song. But will anyone else listen to it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you enjoy liminal spaces? Do you have a taste for making those odd spaces your own, if only for a moment?
