Liminal Spaces

 

Liminal spaces. In which a liminal space is the time between the 'what was' and the 'next.' It is a place of transition, waiting, and not knowing. Liminal space is where all transformation takes place, if we learn to wait and let it form us.

In other words, empty places where it's not supposed to be empty. What vibe do these photos (show below) give us?



Empty. Unusual. Nostalgic. Sad.

Do they remind you of anything in particular? Maybe a meme, like the backrooms, or something more interesting, like a childhood memory?

Anyways... I'm more interested to see what you all have to say, so i'll stop here. Tell me at least one memory that reminded you of a liminal space. What were you doing in that space? and what did you feel after seeing it?

looks like i just discovered i have kenophobia 

anyways
the photos remind me of a fair few things from when i was little.
i remembered going to places, many of which i probably shouldn't have been in. i've been in so many places because i just generally wander there out of curiosity. but i especially remembered things from the city's hospital, my old primary school, other peoples' houses, etc and probably more.

especially indoor areas that are under construction; there's actually one in the shopping plaza in my city right now that's like this. all it has is fake 'turf' (that green plastic meant to be like grass), just a couple short tables, and like four wooden/plastic chairs (also short.) it looks like it's meant for kids but i've seen teenagers and adults there too, usually to calm.
but half the time the lights are off, and even with just natural light it's pretty dim, especially near the back end of it. even when the lights are on elsewhere, it's still a little dim.

i do like dim lighting, but i guess i'm the opposite of claustrophobic lol? i like small spaces and especially cozy ones that aren't overstimulating :P
i think i remembered some areas in my old primary school where it's been cleaned, but nobody knew what to do with it. especially those that have a few chairs in them but there's no staff or kids there, it might've been intended for use but was forgotten.

I haven't posted or commented in a while, but this is a good picture I have that I took myself it was so weird to walk in and see just big empty space forever 21 used to be packed and hard on my eyes, but now it's just desolate

I personally love the asthetic of liminal spaces, it feels so soothing and stuff.
