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.

This escalator are the one of many escalators in what's considered to be the first Mall/shopping centre on my area. The mall nowadays became temporary market for jewelries and gold shops. The rest is either cheap clothes vendor, discount accessories, and Arcade game areas that still use coins to play (cuz the rest of them now are used cards and membership accounts)
How old? It’s got the yellow paint which is nice.
It was build in 1990s, the first one of many shopping centre in my hometown.
