Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

This stairs came from the same Mall where I take a picture of the empty basement before. To be honest, this stairs is much colourful compared to other Mall's emergency stairs in my area (mostly white or gray)
