Standing at the threshold, she hesitated for a moment, her hand trembling as she held the little key. The door before her seemed to hold secrets and mysteries waiting to be unveiled. It was not just an ordinary door; it was guarded by The Door-God - Military, a symbol of strength and protection. This doorway belonged to Europe, Croatia, a land rich in history and culture. As she turned the key in the lock, she couldn't help but wonder what lay beyond that wooden barrier. The Full frame take of an old wooden door hinted at stories etched into its grain. On the other side of this threshold stood Edge of the Wood, a captivating landscape captured on paper with pen & ink and wash. Its intricate details whispered tales of nature's beauty and serenity. As she stepped inside, mosaic artwork adorned the porter's threshold—a dog depicted with vibrant tiles—an emblematic guardian welcoming all who entered. This mosaic reminded her that even in unfamiliar places, there are always companions awaiting our arrival. The significance of thresholds extended beyond physical doors; they marked important moments in life too. Jeff Lynne on his wedding day crossed such a symbolic boundary on 11th April 1972—captured forever in an image radiating joy and love. In literature lies another realm where thresholds play their part: Illustration for Child of the Air by M H Spielmann showcased colorful litho art inviting readers into enchanting worlds woven through words. But thresholds were not limited to human experiences alone; animals also found themselves standing on these boundaries. In On the Threshold painted by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen in 1902, cats lingered between two realms—their curious gazes hinting at unseen wonders yet to be explored. Even religious symbolism found solace within thresholds—the Gate of Jerusalem depicted lambs symbolizing Apostles guarding sacred ground through mesmerizing mosaics—a reminder that faith can guide us across any threshold.
