I love it. I also honor your decision to move the collaborative piece through your creative process. Sometimes artifacts of a group process need finishing and burnishing to reveal their mystery, essence, and true beauty.
In general I love the concept and what you have done with it. The one thing that lept out at me was how very thin all the figures in the center are. Perhaps this is because they are spirits rather than people, but I should think spirits would also come in various sizes. Other than that, I think it's fabulous!
Marcia, that's totally fair. There would be a lot for me to unpack to give a thorough and thoughtful response. I was less thinking about them as actual people and more as abstractions of the concept of people moving and dancing. But as I'm thinking about this, the question arises "why would thinness be part of the abstraction?" so you've raised something that I want to think more about.

Love you, love your work...
Thank you! It was a decision that I struggled with for months.

Thank you!
