24 × 36 oil on canvas, framed
Setting Boundaries explores the moment when self-protection becomes an act of clarity rather than retreat. A coyote defiantly carries a burning branch through a landscape alive with fire, embodying instinct, resilience, and the courage to define what we will and will not carry.
The coyote moves through the flames not as something helpless within them, but as an active participant, carrying fire of its own. Traditionally associated with adaptability, intelligence, and survival, it becomes a figure of self-possession: aware of the world around it, but no longer willing to surrender its own ground in response to it.
Boundaries are sometimes mistaken for rejection or withdrawal. Yet a boundary can also be an act of recognition, an understanding of what belongs to us and what does not. It allows us to remain in relationship with the world without disappearing into the needs, expectations, or demands of others.
Setting Boundaries considers that distinction. Sometimes a boundary is not a wall, but a line of fire: a declaration of where we end and something else begins.
