Rigidity And Individuality In Nation-States

The 17 (and growing?) line-oriented pieces represent and speak to two separate, yet directly connected, ideas and concepts:

 

One: The (often) rigid nature of Nation-States / countries and their associated imaginary & subjectively decided national borders.

Two: The (often) rigid nature of a given culture and broader society wherein one may feel forced to adhere to and "follow the lines" and/or, perhaps, go in the same direction as everyone else (good and bad) and/or, perhaps, be the same shape, color, form, etc… as those next to you (sometimes… maybe!).

 

You are encouraged to reflect upon your own nation/s, culture/s, society/ies, self/selves when viewing the pieces.
