"A client once commented on one of my works, saying, 'But these are just shapes'. It was meant as a negative comment, but I found the idea fascinating. I still think about it often. People dancing? They're just shapes! Dinner? Just shapes! The infinite space of the ever-expanding cosmos? Just a bunch of shapes!"
– Misha Kahn

"Simplicity is the goal of a journey that usually begins with complexity and is reached after research, trial and error, and reworking. So, for me, simplicity is the epiphany of the project."
