Inspiration for This Work

"Mr Patel, Piscine's piety is admirable. But he can't be a Hindu, a Christian and a Muslim. It's impossible. He must choose."

"Bapu Gandhi said, 'All religions are true.' I just want to love god," I blurted, red in the face.

Father cleared his throat and said in a half-voice, "I suppose that's what we're all trying to do - love God."

- Life Of Pi by Yann Martel

Despite my love/hate relationship with art and design, one simply cannot live without it. The benefits of art and design exceeds this 25 word limit..
