Laundromat and moon phases emphasize the cyclical nature of transition A playground synthesized with school supplies shows the transition from being a carefree kid to preparing for the “real world” A ghost and a human having a friendly conversation at a bus stop represents the transition of getting over your fears A bathtub being used as a place of recovery to implies the transition of healing A person forgetting their bag on the subway implies the transition that must come with loss An art gallery of the same person throughout their life shows the transition of age Cutting hair in a public bathroom shows transition in appearance A claw machine in a 24/hr ATM lobby shows the struggle to transition from childhood to adulthood A motel visually synthesized with the literal transition of travel A convenience store shows the struggle to transition into an independent uni lifestyle from a live-at-home environment Close Crossroads Crossroads synthesizes liminal spaces with moments of transition to give people a sense of grounding and stability in what is otherwise a very turbulent, ever changing time in their lives.
