Create an image of a group of people merging seamlessly into an optical illusion of a swirling vortex, surrounded by abstract shapes and colors that represent the inner thoughts and emotions of each individual.

An image showcasing a diverse group of individuals: a white woman, a black man, a Middle-Eastern man, a South Asian woman, and a Hispanic woman seamlessly blending into a mesmerising optical illusion of a spiralling vortex. The vortex forms the focal point of the image, symbolising unity. The surroundings are filled with abstract shapes and colors, each representation differing according to the individual's position and embodying their internal thoughts and emotions.
