Bound/ary is an installation utilizing artificial LED tubes within a free-standing, six-panel, sculptural folding screen. The piece features the image of graffitied Nopal cacti captured in 2019 at Morro Rock in California. The work represents a duality on two levels. A Nopal cactus, more commonly known as a prickly pear cactus, can be beautiful with beneficial properties, but the spines are a reminder to approach cautiously and consider the unknown. The folding screen is also intended to represent many sides -- hiding and revealing to the viewer, evoking a fragmented memory, a deconstructed image that needs to be processed in a unique way.
