Limbo by Kenji Mercado

Issue 103

Limbo is a place where frustration and indecision hide.  It is where clarity and confusion come to fight, both home and prison for those who cannot find their way.  This is where you lie down to close your eyes and block out the world—the same spot where you wake up embracing, yet still unsure of, what lies ahead.

Limbo is a collection of photographs taken during a personal moment of transition in my life where fear and self-doubt, frustration and uncertainty, keep me from grasping what I can make of my future with my own two hands. For now, I reside in my hiding place, a false calm filled with restless anxiety. With definite answers well out of reach and any demands for it trivial and foolish, I have tried to endure this stinging unease, attempting to discover new worlds in my state of unseeing.
