This work is from a body of work that I was constantly reminded that we do not have total control over all things in our lives. Like the dart game we want to aim at something but hinderances or boundaries are our everyday struggles and we face them individually, though the outcome impacts more than an individual because of relationships.

Unlike the dart game or any game if you follow the rules you will succeed in that particular game or sport with practice and all extras. In this work I am questioning rules set before us spiritually or physically that impact our sense of direction because of the common notions that we have been brought up in to say things are done like this or not like this , so what does one do when their condition falls under what has never been spoken about or chooses to find another path that is not a common response but gives better understanding of self. Unlike games, rules over people are constantly changing.

Boundary lines for me is that space that fights with me in relationships and in that space there is a possibility to see light , the same boundaries have promoted growth and allowed to see that the boundary lines are not of significance or control over self though they are there, but surely they can be broken.
