Deconstructing b/orders means shifting attention from borders as fixed territorial or legal lines to the cognitive and emotional distinctions through which they are imagined, justified and enforced. My work examines how these invisible/less visible borders shape the physical and institutional forms that appear as objective and inevitable.
