LIMBO
limbo [lim-boh]
noun, plural limbos.
1. (often initial capital letter) Roman Catholic Theology. a region on the border of hell or heaven, serving as the abode after death of unbaptized infants (limbo of infants) and of the righteous who died before the coming of Christ (limbo of the fathers or limbo of the patriarchs)
2. a place or state of oblivion to which persons or things are regarded as being relegated when cast aside, forgotten, past, or out of date:
My youthful hopes are in the limbo of lost dreams.
3. an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place.
‘Limbo’ reflects on a unique state of oblivion where persons or things find themselves at an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place. The word, “Limbo,” in this case, is not entirely similar to its biblical definition, nor is it entirely different. It describes the temporal process of forgetting and being forgotten, embracing anonymity, and entertaining endless possibility in a space that simultaneously acts as a vacuum and a hub.
With this work the artist poses that when we travel we detach ourselves from day-to-day life. Our daily activities are temporarily interrupted by the time it takes to move from one place to another. We find ourselves in designated waiting areas, lines, shuttles, gates, and terminals. Rather than focusing on where we are or where we want to go, this work focuses on the state or place between our location and our destination and draws parallels with common chronological trends in life, storytelling, and trajectory.
