I chose to deal with the science of cryptography. Cryptography began in mathematics. Codes were developed, even from Caesar's time, based on number theory and mathematical principles. I decided to use those principles and designed a work that is encoded.

All my high school papers were written in the rare book room.

I've always considered myself a nonfiction artist.

There are moments in history that people should be reminded of.
