Boundless

Boundless is an ongoing sculpture project expressing the possibilities of our love and connection

We are Boundless, simultaneously held in our interconnection to one another and free to move uniquely in the world. These moving sculptures are transition objects, a ritual of motion, memory, and presence for the loved ones and the person being born or dying.

The Boundless project is a series of mobile sculptures influenced by Akhter Ahsen, the father of Eidetic Imagery, and A.H. Almaas’ Diamond Approach. The expansion of this sculpture project was inspired by and in memorial to a dear friend, Mark Lundy, whose family has Boundless #2 in the series. The first large 9-piece gemstone and wire sculpture is featured in the video. Each sculpture in the series is an expression of our boundless love and interconnection.

The various incarnations of these mobile sculptures continue to offer ritual and representation of the work we do around grief and loss. Our systems of belonging most often reflect the nine-piece mobile where each dangling member of the mobile moves in counter-balance to the others when the structure is disturbed. The support we seek during transition and loss is similar to the more tightly woven wires of the Womb of Support mobile.

Sometimes, trauma and grief become stuck or we experience a gap in our development. The trauma forms a secondary structure juxtaposed over our original structure and nature. When an event occurs that meets the trauma structure, we are triggered and can experience difficult symptoms of anxiety, panic, anger, and fear. We can learn to notice the symptoms of trauma and complicated grief that reside in our bodies, recognize this secondary structure, and find new movement where there has been stagnation. Grief, loss, and trauma reside in unique ways in our bodies. Welcoming in the Shadows is a mobile representation of my own trauma structure and experience.

My own personal work and the work I engage in with clients shapes the mobiles, and the mobiles shape the work. This beautiful exchange of making the invisible visible is a ritual that continues to heal in ways I could never have planned.

Our connection to each other through these mobiles beyond distance and time is vital and real. Currently, there are over 50 mobiles of various sizes across three continents. It is the hope that unique mobiles will hang and move, Boundlessly, all over the world—symbolic of our transcendent connections.
