Threshold is a photographic publication centred on backstage spaces, green rooms, and transitional interiors across music venues in Scotland. Rather than documenting performers directly, the work focuses on the spaces where performance is constructed: mirrors, curtains, empty chairs, dressing tables, and half-lit rooms suspended between public spectacle and private ritual.

Developed in response to the ideas explored in my first semester essay The Third Gaze, the project examines performance as something psychological as much as theatrical. These spaces become stages in themselves — places where identity is rehearsed, adjusted, and negotiated before entering public view. Through quiet, cinematic images devoid of performers, Threshold explores the tension between authenticity and self-construction, asking where the individual ends and the performer begins.
