“East is east and West is west, and

never the Twain shall meet.”

– Rudyard Kipling.

and an alternative vision.

– William Donohue

Pigments of the other side of the coin

“If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. “ – Albert Einstein

“Sometimes we feel we straddle two cultures; at other times, that we fall between two stools.” ― Salman Rushdie

I slowly thrive onto the contrasts so confusing

yet not blurred, I herewith submit a composition of various letters of

myriad layers, of lessons of principles

constructed beneath and beyond the

superficial lines of fashion, of the heart of

cultural emulsification.
