In the photographic series, “Dreams and Liminality,” I suspended myself from a hammock, representing the thin veil between dreams and reality and the space between the heavens and the Earth. Moreover, the hammock simultaneously functions as a sort of blanket, tether, and crutch. Liminal environments are portrayed in the background of these digital prints, namely doctor’s offices, bus stations, grocery stores, and airports, creating a metaphor for the subconscious. I sought to activate banal environments where I tend to get lost in my imagination. The aerial hammock, a circus act akin to aerial silks, is a means of performance. I am elevating the act of everyday pedestrian performance simultaneously. Piggybacking off of the “main character era” trend, I am juxtaposing elements of fiction, or surrealist dreams, and nonfiction, or lived experiences.
