A liminal space is a physical place or a psychological state of transition, characterized by being 'in-between' or on a 'threshold' between one state or location and another. The term originates from the Latin word 'limen' (threshold). These spaces often evoke feelings of eeriness, nostalgia, or unease because they are temporary and lack clear purpose for prolonged occupation. Examples include empty hallways, abandoned malls, or the periods of adolescence and major life changes, like a pandemic.
