In Liminal Figures, I explore the threshold spaces where human presence becomes suggestion rather than assertion, where the figure dissolves into shadow, blur, or reflection, suspended between visibility and disappearance. This series is a meditation on transience, anonymity, and the fragmentation of urban identity.
Shot across public spaces, stations, escalators, streets, the subjects are often faceless, partial, or obscured, inhabiting the periphery of recognition. Their blurred forms or silhouetted outlines reflect a collective experience of dislocation in contemporary city life. I am drawn to the moments when individuals move through space like passing thoughts, unfixed, unspoken, ephemeral.
Technically, the work employs deliberate motion blur, stark contrast, and layered reflections to deconstruct the figure. These visual strategies allow the frame to breathe ambiguity, inviting viewers to question where form ends and absence begins.
The series resists narrative closure. Instead, it proposes a quiet tension: the tension of becoming and fading, of subjects not fully arriving. Each image is a fragment of a larger rhythm, echoes of movement, glances of being, captured not to define, but to observe the fleeting choreography of everyday transit.
Liminal Figures is part of my ongoing investigation into the poetics of urban anonymity, where photography becomes not a document of presence but a witness to passage.
