my certainties

For this photograph I decided to put our limiting beliefs into images. All of us in our lives create deep negative beliefs that will, in time, become our reality and sabotage our attempts. It is the famous who am I? question that cannot be answered because we are born in a prison whose walls are of our own construction.

 

We are naked in front of these beliefs that embrace us like this hemp rope blocking Sarah.

 

 

 

 The knots are made from Kinbaku or Shibari which is inspired by the Hoju jutsu, ancestral Japanese techniques used to bind prisoners.
