Box Series

Many women grow up with belief systems given to them by others. These beliefs that encompass, religion, relationships, careers, politics and gender are safely tucked away within individual compartments. Often, women feel subconsciously trapped or controlled by these beliefs; spending most of their lives striving to “break out of the box” in order to live the life they choose.

This series of work emphasizes this very idea, “Breaking Out of the Box”.  When we challenge our respective belief systems, a shifting of paradigm can occur. This shift connects us with our authentic self, providing the opportunity to travel full circle on life’s journey.
