Liminal

as a physical, conceptual place and emotional state

September 2024 – September 2025

The action questions feelings of absence, emptiness and a state of emotional transition. Through a process of reconfiguration, it addresses grief through doing, and the public expression of a lack, A love experienced differently by everyone at some point in their lives. How can we give meaning to the objects imbued with memories and to the moments that remain after the loss of a loved one? The liminal becomes a moment of rejuvenation, of reconnection with oneself and with others, a space for existential reflection. This threshold, a suspended parenthesis, a moment of pause, invites us to reflect on the resonance of the past and the potential of the future, while questioning the very meaning of life itself.

In architecture, this project explores the transitional space between the private and the public, reflecting on the notion of the threshold and its appropriation. In new buildings, these intermediate spaces are often limited, with increasingly controlled and standardized interfaces: clotheslines forbidden, white curtains imposed, all forms of expression restricted. The project highlights a subjectivation that takes place in public space, on the border between inside and outside, in this liminal space. This threshold manifests itself as an opening onto a surface usually dedicated to real estate or advertising projects, where a construction site sign gradually becomes a floating window, detached from any building.
