"Sometimes you need to just draw a line and set a boundary to protect yourself from the darkness and negativity that wants so desperately in infiltrate your peace!"
 
Boundaries explores the delicate tension between protection and vulnerability through a commanding contrast of dark and light elements. The upper section of the composition is defined by vertical streaks of deep black interlaced with textured shades of blue and white, conveying a sense of movement that feels both turbulent and deliberate. This restless area embodies the force of challenges or external pressures that seek to encroach upon personal space.
Below, a broad horizontal band of pale, nearly snowy white offers a resolute counterbalance—a clear delineation that asserts strength and clarity. This luminous boundary serves as a shield, marking the sacred space within and symbolizing the deliberate act of setting limits that safeguard inner light. The addition of silver leaf adds a subtle shimmer, emphasizing the boundary’s importance and the conscious effort required to maintain it.
Through its interplay of texture and gradient, the artwork invites reflection on the act of defining oneself amidst complexity. It speaks to the power found in making boundaries visible and honored, transforming them from mere lines into vital spaces of protection and renewal. The piece holds space for both the struggle against encroaching darkness and the quiet resolve to preserve the light, offering a nuanced meditation on resilience, self-care, and the clarity that arises through intentional separation.
