Life on a Line is an ongoing project that documents people who slackline from around the world. After I was introduced to the sport in Florida in 2012, I embarked on a journey to Moab, Utah, to attend one of the largest slackline gatherings in the world called GGBY in 2016. The main type of slackline there is called a highline, which is a line set up between far distances and great heights, and you must be tethered in for safety. There I met world-record holders and people who were breaking boundaries in the sport. I even met the guy who tricklined during the Super Bowl Half Time Show. We camped out in the desert and shared stories over bonfires during the week-long gathering. I hope to portray how the simple act of walking on a thin piece of webbing can connect people across cultural differences. The community is extremely welcoming, while their values and sense of adventure is contagious. Life on a Line aims to remind others to live life courageously.
