breaking away

the concepts of struggle - digital collage

We build barriers, lines, and borders. Places of concrete and clear divisions. Explicit designations. Stark separations.

We put up fences and dam up rivers. Create conventions and parameters to define what is acceptable and what isn’t. What can and can't be done. What aligns with normativity and what lives left of center.

But everything crumbles and nothing is impenetrable.

There is a wildness at the heart of everything. An unruly nature that cannot be contained.

“To recognize the crippling feeling of being limited,” John O’Donohue says, “is already to have begun" breaking it away.
