The column, with its half-silhouette, feels like a threshold—something in between presence and absence, human and structure, movement and stillness. The way the human shape is embedded within the column suggests a merging of the organic with the built environment, as if the city itself holds traces of people who have passed through, leaving behind a luminous imprint.

The fact that it is only half of a figure makes it feel like an emergence or disappearance, reinforcing ideas of liminality. It could be seen as a structural element that holds a moment of transition.
