Thresholds of the Unseen is a photographic diptych that explores the fragile boundaries between interior consciousness and external identity. Through motion blur, symbolic gesture, and architectural contrast, the work evokes the ephemeral nature of presence. The first image captures the poetics of stillness and introspection, while the second confronts spatial transition and existential anonymity.
Together, the panels form a meditation on selfhood, where the body becomes a threshold between memory and movement, between being seen and being lost.
Left Panel: Held
A blurred figure gently presents a feather, an emblem of transience and internal fragility. The sharply rendered feather floats in contrast to the dissolving body, evoking the tension between memory and impermanence. Light isolates the gesture, preserving it against a void.
Right Panel: Passed
A shadowed figure moves toward a luminous architectural threshold. The act of transition is central: identity is no longer held, but projected and distorted. The viewer is left uncertain whether the figure enters or exits, materializes or fades. Space overtakes presence.
