Unframe

Unframe, as a verb, typically refers to the act of removing something from its frame, or metaphorically, removing something from its established context or perspective.

In a literal sense, "unframe" can mean to physically detach a picture, painting, or other artwork from the frame that surrounds and supports it.

More broadly, "unframe" describes the process of liberating an idea, concept, or issue from limiting or conventional boundaries. This can involve challenging assumptions, questioning established norms, and considering alternative viewpoints. To unframe something often requires a critical re-evaluation of the situation and an active effort to break free from pre-conceived notions. The intention behind unframing something is usually to gain a fresh understanding or to allow for new possibilities to emerge.

The term can be used in various contexts, including art, design, business strategy, problem-solving, and social commentary. The implication is that the original framing was somehow restrictive or incomplete, and that by removing or altering it, a more complete or nuanced perspective can be achieved.
