deconfinement
Throughout our lives, we are restricted by the tight membrane of societal pressure – human expectations of gender and culture. Within this confinement, we can shift through pain and struggle into various positions, progressively becoming more authentic to our truth. Each alignment forcefully pushes further against the membrane, leaving an imprint and gradually creating an increasing gap in which to exist authentically.
In physics, deconfinement refers to a phase of matter in which particles are allowed to exist as free excitations rather than exclusively within bound states. In this series, it refers to humankind slowly achieving the freedom to also exist freely.
