Walk Your Path extends the concept of A Box with No Edges into a work on paper. Derived from the final forms of the sculpture, the work continues Smith’s exploration of identity, perception, and the pressures imposed through collective expectation.
Through ink and paint, the work reflects on the importance of trusting one’s own direction, particularly when it exists outside accepted social frameworks. A Box with No Edges considers how identity is contained through systems of belonging and categorisation; Walk Your Path shifts toward the possibility of self-definition beyond those structures.
The work explores the tension between individuality and social conformity, suggesting that freedom may emerge through the willingness to honour personal instinct, even when it resists collective norms. Operating as both an extension of the sculptural language and a psychological reflection, the work positions choice and uncertainty as necessary parts of becoming.
