Simpler is better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Simplify our thoughts, our artwork, and our mode of living. Simple, strong, supple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple is a sign of strength <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to become stronger. Perhaps in order to become stronger, we must become simpler?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why simple?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Simplifying things as fun (creative destruction). To strip the superfluous is an interesting challenge.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only through much experimentation do we discover what is essential and what isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Also, our needs are constantly changing and evolving which means what is essential now might be superfluous tomorrow (and vice versa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why simple images? Simple images stick with you. To subtract the inessentials in an image to highlight the essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
