Story behind the story

Sometimes you come across stories about people who have a different approach to life and beauty. Especially artists can have a strong opinion on how the world we live in should look like. The majority of people however is less unconventional and 'daring'. It's often this majority that defines the rules that shape society. Creative and 'forward' thinkers may feel left out and misunderstood. This is the concept of the story about Mr. Mo. As an architect he has difficulties to conform to what is considered as 'average'. In the story Mr. Mo gets depressed and isolates himself, as he feels misunderstood. By following his own path he not only managed to get out, but also positively influences his surrounding.
