Good evening, everyone, I need your help. Thanks so much!

“Beauty is a curious phenomenon, one of permeable, shifting boundaries.”
Can I see boundaries as the standards of beauty? And what is the meaning of “permeable”?
Permeable means that things can pass through it - we most often use it for fabrics, but it can be used in other contexts too.
Here the author is sugesting that the concept of beauty is not fixed. Beauty's definition doesn't have firm boundaries and different "things" or "criteria" can be allowed into these defintions of beauty.
