Crowd-control barriers on swivel casters tell the story of an ever-shifting boundary. A boundary of what we accept as moral; a boundary of how compliant we are; a boundary of when we truly take action against injustice; a boundary of our humanity, of our empathy and understanding.

It also reflects the development of nations that perceive themselves as omnipotent and therefore literally move or stretch their borders, because they are in the position and possess the means to do so — at the expense of their own population or inhabitants. Supported by money that is not used to improve or solve societal issues, but for personal gain and power. That same money is also deployed to defend or justify the moral boundary through channels of communication.

But like all great powers that have ever risen, they too will eventually fall when the population acts collectively and no longer allows itself to be guided by imposed boundaries
