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.

....but your luggage never arrives on the carousel, after an hour of waiting.
Instead....just... heads of cabbage... with notes tacked to them, all blaming you for everything from minor inconveniences, to horrific tragedies.
In your bewildered, jet lagged state, confounded as to the location of your luggage, stupified by the proponderance of agitated vegetables...
You take off your glasses, drop some visine into each eye, blink a few times, and resettle your spectacles.
'Cabbage Blame ... ?' you whisper aloud, rereading the airport signage.
Do those cabbages know what I did last summer?
