how does it all relate to obstruction?

Literally, obstruction would mean something that is blocking or holding something back.
I find the infinite options so easily available to me quite suffocating.
I see the 'obstruction' as forgetting about the existence million other options.

Usually, i'm hell-bent on working seamlessly. having all the answers. knowing exactly what I'm doing.
for this assignment, i'm trying to let myself loose, open up the seams a little bit, and let everything fall into place.
and maybe stop being such a control freak.

lately, i find myself traveling from idea to idea, which is refreshing, but also worries me bit.
i've been trying to get a greater understanding of cubism. maybe even stick with using the idea of cubism as my obstruction.
the problem is, that my idea of cubism itself is constantly changing.
cubist film making may not be the same as cubist art or poetry for that matter.
but i'm excited to see where this is leading me.
i've had several ideas of things i could do with cubism:
from relating cubism to split screen (which is a whole world in itself) to cubist video poetry, to what i feel about cubism.
i haven't decided on any one thing though.
