Liminal spaces are the subject of an Internet aesthetic portraying empty or abandoned places that appear eerie, forlorn, and often surreal. Liminal spaces are commonly places of transition (pertaining to the concept of liminality) or of nostalgic appeal.

Forget liminal spaces. I'm afraid of manmade heights. My body would be at a 45° angle to the right. Thumping every door and window along the way. I HATE those kinds of hotels, and I bet they have a glass elevator too.
They did indeed have a windowed elevator so I had to stay on the side close to the balconies, I'm actually really afraid of heights myself, if I look down from too high at close enough of an angle I get really bad vertigo, I have since I was a little kid when my grandpa took me to the roof of an animal feed plant he managed and I looked over the edge with him (I am very very midwestern), honestly, focusing on the viewfinder or screen of a camera really helps with it, sorta turns the depths in a "2D" field that I can deal with much easier, part of why I love photography as an art form.
