Still round the corner there may wait,
A new road or a secret gate

— J.R.R Tolkien


The act of being conscious and perceiving, Thresholds is a negotiation between inner and outer worlds, stepping through, where transformation takes shape. A threshold is neither arrival nor departure, it’s a state where the invisible becomes perceptible. A boundary that is also an opening.
