"The designs I created for Pactimo's cycling apparel are taken from minute details of photographs of plants and flowers. They are then digitally altered but I keep the colors and forms as close to reality as possible. I have been using this technique since 2002 and I have appropriated the term "Histograms" to describe them. The idea was to emulate the feeling of speed and defying gravity for the rider as well as for the viewer." -Alex Haas
