essential
In my series entitled Essential, I examine those workers in our lives that often go unnoticed. What boundaries do we place between ourselves and those who sustain our lives through ordinary tasks? We go about our lives stepping around or by those who are invisible yet essential to keep our lives functioning.
Construction workers, waitstaff, medical personnel or delivery persons all exist below the surface of our busy lives. Caution tape and cones that separate us from the work being done are the physical boundaries. The psychological boundaries between us and these essential people exist beyond the physical.
