Threshold 24 x 36, acrylic Threshold explores the moment when opposites exist at the same time. A solitary figure stands before a passage that appears both threatening and inviting—surrounded by darkness, yet drawn toward light. What looks like fire may also be illumination. What feels like danger may be possibility. The figure is vulnerable, yet powerful enough to choose whether to move forward. The paradox lies in that uncertainty: sometimes the thing we fear crossing toward may also be the thing that changes us.
