A word about borders (boundary)
Various borders, including geographical, cultural, and social borders, exist everywhere. Borders serve to distinguish different domains, implying connections and interactions between these areas. There are borders that become apparent through contact with different others, and there are also borders that gradually fade away. While grasping the dynamics of borders, I want to reflect on the relationship between borders and identity.
