Liminal Threshold, curated by Ruchi Sharma, is a solo exhibition by Sumit Sarkar. In the exhibition the artist navigates the fragile boundaries between memory, imagination, and the subconscious through layered and deeply personal visual narratives. Sarkar’s body of work revolves around domestic objects such as pillows, mattresses, folded fabrics, and stitched surfaces. These objects are not only a sense of comfort but are also carriers of memory, emotion and lived experience. Each fold, crease and stitch are signs of presence, absence, healing and emotional weight.
The title of the show, Liminal Threshold, is a reference to a space between one state and another. Gates, pathways, folds, and layered surfaces appear as symbols of movement, and transformation. Sarkar’s works leave room for reflection, and speak about memories embedded in objects, places and moments of transition. The threshold becomes a space where different realities meet and merge.
