"It is not a concept I came up with overnight. The process of creating texture and grey scale from typography has been and still is evolving"¦. Using theories to outline horn-rimmed glasses; song lyrics twisted and turned into locks of hair; heart-aching poems carved into crow"s feet; culture-defining philosophies stitched into a silk robe." -Kira Lee
