The concept of liminal spaces has always fascinated me—these existential voids between origin and destination that hold everything and nothing.The Space Between is an exploration of these thresholds in their emotional, existential, and psychological dimensions. Through a series of vignettes, the exhibition invites participants to reflect on how we navigate transitions: between departure and arrival, past and future, belonging and estrangement?
Whether crossing countries, shifting worldviews, or changing careers, transitions are difficult. This gathering serves as both an archival and a celebration of collective resilience, illuminating how we carry, redefine, and sometimes release the places and traditions that anchor us.
The offering culminates in a public reading and dialogue, where selected stories will be shared alongside an interactive community wall that invites reflections on how we survive—and even honor—these limbo phases.
