Several concepts come to mind when thinking about liminality: uncertainty, as well as openness, potential, and the state of becoming, between-ness, transition, neutrality. The state of Neither-Nor (or Either-Or, quantitatively holding the same value and relevance in opposition). The Liminal surrounds us; it is the periphery of every moment of our existence, the behind-the-scenes of our reality; it makes no judgments and no assertions; it constitutes our everyday mundane poetry. It is simply there. In the liminal state, the boundaries and factors dissolve, bringing to the attention the low-key overlooked moments.

Penumbra, referring to the area of transition between light and shadow, is a series of photographs that explores the concept of becoming. The images are observations of the ordinary, commonplace, and familiar domestic spaces, invite the viewer to examine the subtle manifestations of the Everyday.
