"This bowl represents this community. It is a container. It is a container built on discipline and commitment...When Nita pours the water into this bowl, she will be allowing her creativity to be shaped by this container, these disciplines, your traditions."

Just one small water-filled bowl in a large all-encompassing container of humanity.
