Cycles
Submitted by: Seth J. Butler
Artist's Project Description:I wrote the majority of these piece the weekend of George Floyd’s death. In many of the conversations I was witnessing, I saw a huge division with very little effort being made to have a productive conversation to understand the complexity of racial unrest that we were observing. I wanted this piece to serve as a conversation starter for folks to honestly share how their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. No other artists were involved in the creation of this work.
