Thresholds are never only about crossing space. They are the architecture of change: a boundary, a stage of life, a trigger point, or the entrance into a liminal state. A threshold may be no more than a step, a breath, a glance, or a shift in light. Thin as a veil, they are a one molecule thick membrane between states of being, where passage unleashes the immense power of transformation.

In this series of exaggerated vertical paintings, the threshold is imagined as the entrance to liminal space. Liminality begins after the crossing: the prolonged, often disorienting middle stage in which ordinary rules no longer hold, stable identities blur, and meaning remains suspended while transformation has begun but has not yet resolved.

The vertical format turns each painting into a ritual crossing: the charged moment before passage and a glimpse into the unstable space beyond. As the eye moves through the height of the image, figures, veils, shadows, organic forms, and radiant centers appear in stages, as if uncovered from a deeper symbolic order. The paintings do not present mythology as something already fixed. They suggest mythology coming into being, the moment when fragments of image, memory, fear, beauty, and ritual begin to gather into the shared symbolic form of a myth.
