Systems' shadow

Mary Sibande (artist) says "change is a violent process" (see https://www.apollo-magazine.com/mary-sibandes-alter-ego-tells-the-story-of-post-apartheid-south-africa/).

Conversely,  Ison (2010, p. 13) states; "systems practice and thinking is dangerous", but "dangerous because it may change who you are and how you act."

OU (2010, p. 51), discussing systemic inquiry, quotes Jung; "the way that leads through darkness and obscurity".
