When I saw that the assignment called for a “liminal state betweeen two realities,” I could not help but immediately think of my doorway. I have a pretty unique setup – an outside door that doesn’t lead directly to the inside. Instead, it leads just to a case of VERY steep stairs and at the top there is another door. The initial door, closest to the outside, is never locked and I’m always scared that I will walk by the upper door and see someone just standing at the top of the staircase staring in! Anyway, this picture depicts three completely different areas that I encounter on a regular basis and I thought it really represents each reality. First, there is the outside world, everything and anything separate from my apartment. Then, the staircase passageway has a vibe all its own – it’s usually pretty creepy (especially with the light off) and the temperature in there never quite matches the temperature either outside or inside. Finally, there is the inside of my apartment and the reality I inhabit everyday. (March 18)
