This installation explores themes of identity, transition, and growth. The artist utilizes the symbols of mist and driftwood to visualize the liminal psychological states experienced by migrants during cultural adaptation. Visitors are invited into a liminal space, facing a transparent box containing driftwood and a mirror. Mist represents the transient obstacles in the intermediate state, while driftwood symbolizes the traveller's quest for stability and belonging.
