“It’s the idea of using art to shape new ideas, taking the shortest road for the solution through a continuous form... Nothing more, nothing less. Strong is that thin wall which separates the void from the image of poetry.... It’s curving, bending reality to create the dream. Strong is a new alphabet for writing new stories... Nothing more, nothing less.”
