<p>Here you can see the main forces and influences that are affecting my life and make me do the stuff that I'm doing now. It's in chronological order for convenience.</p><p>1. The financial collapse in 2008 and the change of values from believing in the democracy to believing in a kind of self sufficient anarchism to not knowing what kind of social structure I believe in.</p><p>2. Meeting my girlfriend, Arna, who is apolitical and a firm believer of art being the ultimate. Sometimes at least. With her I have learned to appreciate styles and forms of art that I didn't understand before.</p><p>3. Moving to America. When faced with values and structure so different from my own, I have been able to see more clearly what is acceptable, desirable or important to me.</p><p>4. The death of my father. It made me realize that I have to do what I believe in, and nothing else, before I die.</p>
