This lense-based work explores quiet transitions and the idea of liminal space—thresholds where time, memory, and meaning converge. A two-sided panel, with photographs measuring 80 by 30 inches (the size of a door), evokes the metaphor of a portal. Each image shows a survey stake marking a property line in a forest—one in monochrome, one in colour. These formal oppositions suggest parallel ways of seeing. Referencing Hamlet’s “undiscovered country,” the work asks: is the viewer arriving or departing? Grounded in the material world, it gestures toward the unknown—toward what we see when we stand at the threshold.
