The Exchange
“Transformation proceeds through mutual cost.”
Change is shared, not isolated.
The symbol
Something in your life is undergoing exchange — and the cost is mutual. You are not the only one changing. The person, the system, the structure on the other side of this transaction is also losing form. The transformation is shared, and the sharing is what makes it survivable.
The gift
The Exchange gives you an understanding of interdependence that most people only encounter in theory.
The shadow
The shadow of The Exchange is martyrdom.
