Illeana Sisk:
Thresholds of Becoming

Thresholds of Becoming (2026) is an interactive sculptural installation that explores the evolution of human identity through technological development and social transformation. The work consists of freestanding doors positioned within a garden-like environment, inviting viewers to physically move through a timeline of technological history spanning from the 1950s to the present day.

Each door functions as a symbolic threshold into a different era. When a door is opened, the viewer encounters a projected screen displaying visual media, video, and sound associated with a specific decade and stage of technological advancement. As viewers progress along the path from earlier technologies to contemporary forms of media, the installation traces humanity’s shifting relationship with innovation, communication, and identity.
