Liminal spaces capture manufactured humanity

They are places which are proof of humanity's existence but without that which makes us human.

An abandoned shopping mall with the lights left on.

Cookie cutter suburbia with identical houses.

An outdoor public swimming pool with completely still water.

Liminal spaces are a peak into what's left behind when humans leave, and what's missing is not the people but the human element that makes spaces inviting or pleasant. You're left with a sense of dreamy nostalgic unease or lust for what was but never will be again.
