Box by Lindsay Price
Sometimes we choose the way the world sees us. Black box - indestructible. Jewelry box - plain on the outside, shiny on the inside. Sometimes our box is defined by others - our parents, our friends, our enemies. A box built by others can feel small, confined, impossible.
How do we handle the boxes imposed upon us because of our gender? Our race? From peer pressure? From parent pressure? Do we have to live with our box for the rest of our lives? Can we change?
Each scene explores a different aspect of the metaphorical “boxes” that represent how we present our identity to the world and how the world decides who we are. Who is in control of our identity? Sometimes we choose the way the world sees us. Black box — indestructible. Jewelry box — plain on the outside, shiny on the inside. Sometimes our box is defined by others — our parents, our friends, or our enemies through gossip, drama, and rumours. A box built by others can feel small, confined, impossible. How do we handle the boxes imposed on us by parent pressure, peer pressure, our relationships, or our environment? If we are defined by others, does that identity remain? Is our box an expression of individuality, a safe space, or a trap?
