“An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.”

Martin Luther King, Jr.
From Letter from a Birmingham Jail

In a piece about identity, we came upon something that we felt we needed to address before we could move on. Here is its result.

"Because we are linked by blood, and blood is memory without language……"

- Joyce Carol Oates

Each individual inherently searches for their "ghost continent," that unnameable void within them where resides the divinely powerful bond forged between mother and child, man and woman, ancestor and offspring. Though searching individually, we are all linked in blood, in the need to fill this void, to connect. Ultimately, a double bond emerges between this community of searchers and between the individual and their own phantom network.

seethe: to move in confusion, to be violently excited or agitated; to boil. The subtlety of direct intentions we project outward and inwardly in order to gain control and the fear of having no control at all. Two strong conflicts both unseemly preparing to disintegrate.
