Exploring the idea of what confirming to involuntary ideologies placed upon oneself might feel like. Sections of dense color separated by boxes and lines, areas of intense energy alone by itself, brightness surrounded by darkness, openness with small parts of one's self, these ideas all feel the same to me. It can be positive and negative experiences, it can feel fulfilling or neglectful. Whatever the case, at some point we all have the opportunity to choose differently.
