Statement
“The Safety of Constraint” is about conformity.
Pressures to confirm are exerted internally and externally. Quietly. Assertively. Overtly. Insidiously.
Small daily choices become a routine that slowly and steadily threatens to constrain the unique expression of the individual.
Patterns, habits, thoughts, compliances are like boxes created by human behaviors that conscribe. They make for ease of living and allow us to feel that we “fit in.”
Individually and culturally we determine the size of this box.
