The journey toward authenticity is often a solitary one. Unbound captures the internal struggle to break free from societal influences and embrace one’s true self. This piece speaks to the experience of carrying inherited identities and expectations while yearning to find our own path. So much of our identity is shaped by outside forces, this piece serves as a reminder that our truest selves lie somewhere beyond these layers.

Navigating life’s complexities, especially through the lens of art, prompts reflection on this metaphysical journey. Societal expectations can feel like invisible ropes holding us back, a tangle of inherited narratives and identities that constrain our sense of freedom. The weight of these roles and expectations paints a vivid picture of the burdens we carry and the struggle to step outside of them.

In this journey, each step toward authenticity—each release of an inherited identity or social expectation—is a quiet act of courage. Through Unbound, we are encouraged to question the roles we inherit and to consider the possibility of a life lived freely, shaped by our own truths. The piece becomes a tribute to the resilience it takes to live authentically and the beauty that comes from embracing our individual paths.
