The box is an analogy for the limited space we have in our surroundings (mental and physical) and how we fill it. Often times our boxes get filled without our choosing. The purpose of this series is to realize that these are in fact only boxes, and just outside of them one can find a world without limitations. It is, in fact, just exactly where you are standing when viewing these works. On first series of these boxes, there is a global message. Each of the boxes will be filled with something we feel we need, something that we want to fight for, and things our government chooses to wage war for. Interesting how these things cause judgment, fear and dishonesty within our lives. These are often illusory, and yet we rarely remember to rise above them. However, this figure is rising above the box; strong, truthful, fearless and serene –  therefore the contrast is all the more obvious. We can rise above these wars, this hatred, above the need to horde and covet. We can learn to change, adapt, grow and accept. We can stop overpopulating, over consuming and overproducing. We can learn how to love nature again; understanding the balance and harmony it teaches us. Remember, live outside the box!
