“So the first thing that came into my head was equality for all….Then if I look at it visually-... what I see is energy just swirling and mixing and moving…What I see is colorful swirls of energy, different colors all moving and swirling and mixing and moving. There’s no kind of line that separates them. They’re just merging and entwining and moving and it might entwine here and then it might move over here…so [social justice is] us having the right to be in these swirls of movement in our lives, and not be limited to just being in this one spot…that I have the ability to move and merge and swirl and, and entwine and mix and ... with different colors and different tastes and flavors and sensations.”
