Liminal
Updated 12/27/25: This project has evolved from its original purpose and I have edited this blog post to reflect the change.
This project started as an exploration of the spaces between life and death. Originally, I had written,
I’m interested in transitional states, particularly pertaining to the soul, body and mind. UnHuman was an examination of otherness, creature-hood, beauty, and the grotesque in corporeal form. But there are states beyond the corporeal that weave between life, death and the spaces in between.
My aim with this project is to visually explore complete detachment and dissociation from the physical form and the mind. Releasing all that tethers and grounds to the earth, separating from the body as meat and experiencing metamorphosis and existence through the lens of the spiritual. Connecting to the space between life and death, consciousness and unconsciousness, emotion and apathy, the material and ethereal.
What would it look like and feel like to travel between worlds, to exist in a liminal space, to be enveloped in mystery and ambiguity, to connect to something else, someplace else, removed from everything we think, know, and experience daily?
The project has evolved to encompass spirituality on a broader scale, exploring the energies of God, angels, and unseen spiritual beings and protectors, and the ways they move between hidden planes and the earthly realm, awakening intuition and reconnecting us to universal magic.
An excerpt from East Coker, 2nd of 4 Quartets, by T.S. Eliot
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not,
You must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy.
In order to arrive at what you do not know
You must go by a way which is the way of ignorance.
In order to possess what you do not possess
You must go by the way of dispossession.
In order to arrive at what you are not
You must go through the way in which you are not.
And what you do not know is the only thing you know
And what you own is what you do not own
And where you are is where you are not.
