Liminal space

A place, moment, or state of existence caught between what something was and what it is becoming. Traditionally associated with empty corridors, abandoned buildings, and transitional spaces, liminal space now also describes hidden worlds, forgotten communities, and strange in-between realities at the edges of everyday life. It’s where the familiar feels unfamiliar, normal rules seem suspended, and something exists outside the story we usually tell ourselves about the world.
“I went exploring beneath New York City and stumbled upon people living in forgotten tunnels beneath the streets. It was the ultimate liminal space experience — an entire world existing between the city everyone sees and the one nobody talks about.”
