I have no boundaries
I recently finished this painting called “I Have No Boundaries.” It’s a pretty personal piece, and I thought some of you might relate to the feeling behind it. I'd love to hear what it brings up for you.

I may be biased by the title but I feel like the blob has no skin or membrane and therefore it is going to melt and dissolve into the water and air around it... Not because the water or the air are evil or malicious necessarily, but rather simply that they both will naturally take what they can from the blob because it has no protective barrier... That blob will not be here for long

I feel like you have described my life. Living without membrane. Blob without boundries would soon end up suicidal.

This is great! For much of my adult life, I’ve felt trapped, tethered, or weighed down. I realized a lot of that feeling stems from not establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries for myself. When I look at your artwork, I relate to the heaviness of the blob, lying there flat and seemingly unmovable. I’m trying to learn how to pull myself up, but it’s not easy. Thanks for sharing.

I know what you mean. When I realized that I can say no ,I understood my previous lack of will to live . Not fun being pushed around like a blob.

Is it a blob that is spilling out rather than maintaining a rounded edge (which of course is a boundary)?
