Corporeal Thresholds articulates the body as a mutable threshold, a site where enclosure and exposure are co-produced rather than opposed. Mobilising the ribcage, it approaches protection as a contingent configuration of forces, holding, filtering, and admitting in shifting combinations.

Glass becomes a medium for examining this instability: a material in which defence and permeability continually fold into one another, so that guarding an interior is inseparable from letting the world in. The work stages an embodied negotiation, asking how forms of shelter might stay responsive to what they receive, and how vulnerability might be understood as a mode of ongoing relation rather than a simple state of exposure.
