yesterday, at the Gathering at the Well, the concept of liminal space was given. and i am taken. All day i looked for an "illustration" that can stand for this perfect term, that tho is familiar for years, today, is perfect for how it is right now. It's a glass of water. at night. There will be more.
Liminal space. a transitional or transformative period between two meaningful events or a physical space between two destinations
from Latin Limen ….threshold
spaces neither here nor there, inbetween places we pass through from one area to another. These spaces often invoke feelings of eeriness or discomfort because they are not meant for staying but rather, passing through empty parking lots at night, hallways, stairwells.
The concept of liminality is important in anthropology, psychology and architecture highlighting how physical space can influence human emotions and behaviors.
A space of uncertainty and ambiguity , all landmarks are gone, the future is undefined.
