Liminal Space

Benjamin Loftis: Red, Yellow, Green

July 15 - 27, 2023

Through the intermingling reflections of obscured photography, glass, and neon, the installation Liminal Space: Benjamin Loftis: Red, Yellow, Green, contemplates fluidity of identity, the power of representation, and resonance of personal narratives. Overwhelming the space, the faded image of a man serves as a portal to the past. This solemn gray field veils a neon target symbolizing the crosshairs of scrutiny and the individual's identity within societal constructs. Loftis notes that, “Red, Yellow, Green, serves as a visual tapestry, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own stories and embrace the diverse complexities that shape us as

individuals.”
