In-between Circus 1

Growing up reading fairy tales, I was enchanted by the concept of liminal states—transitional moments and places that bridge different realms.

You are more likely to encounter elves if you are dealing with something in between the worlds: the threshold of a house, underbaked bread (neither raw nor done), wet sand (neither sea nor shore), swamps (neither water nor land), dawn and dusk.

Here I use soft sunset colors in the background to invoke the threshold between the worlds of magic and mundane. The circus performers delicately balancing on the flowers create a scene that evokes the enchanting, fleeting moments found in fairy tales, capturing the essence of transition and the magic that lies within these in-between states.
