Module IV. «Contemporary Photography»

The Limen series—derived from the Latin word for «threshold”—explores the human state suspended in a moment of anticipating changes that may never arrive.

The city, a realm of endless possibility and perpetual motion, transforms into a space of inner solitude. Amidst the crowds and artificial lights, this feeling is meticulously concealed—perceived as a shameful and meaningless weakness. The individual dissolves into this rhythm, remaining alone among thousands just like them. While one longs to break free from this isolation, to cross the boundary between waiting and living, an internal impulse alone proves insufficient.

Through the geometry of natural light and shadow, the series conveys a sense of quiet anxiety and indefinite expectation. The works are inspired by the aesthetics of liminal spaces, Olivia Lang’s book The Lonely City, and the paintings of Edward Hopper, where urban scenes become metaphors for isolation and inner silence.
