| Upwards: A close-up of a clean white gallery wall. Cropped awkwardly in the bottom of the grainy photo, a gold, ornate antique frame casts overlapping shadows in blue, grey, and deep purple. The frame radiates warmth, while multiple jagged silhouettes shift and dance on the wall just above. |

| Event recordings now available within the event postings |
| Above you: Taken from under an highway overpass, a photo of a blank billboards towering over yellow, red, and beige low-rise buildings in NYC. The large empty white sign blocks a lightly clouded crisp blue sky. |
| Below us: A crowded ride on the R train in NYC is shown in a photo of colorful, blurred reflections in the subway car windows. Part of a hand holding a phone appears in the lower right corner, while glimpses of subway ads and New York commuters sprinkle the chaotic composition of the abstracted image. |
| With a background of rhythmic chimes a gentle voice reads the Liminal Beings curatorial statement, which is featured above. |
| Straight ahead: A ride on the D train in NYC expressed in a photograph of overlapping, abstracted reflections and voyeuristic glimpses of tired New York commuters. A hazy mixture of muted blues, greys, and oranges creates a calm image of an otherwise chaotic subway. On the left side of the photo a dark-haired, East Asian-presenting woman bundled in winter clothing sleeps with her purse on her lap. Reflected in the metal wall on the right, a white-presenting man in similar clothing also sits quietly with his eyes closed. |
| Glancing to the right: A NYC subway ride told through a photograph of overlapping, abstracted window reflections and fractured glimpses of tired commuters. A hazy mixture of warm yellows, greys, and oranges with a hint of bright red creates an energetic, painterly composition. |
