In the XXI century, with the knowledge we have and with the increasing consciousness it is not worth stuck in one idea or one art field. Access to materials and views that we can sample indefinitely scares me in one way. All I was learning since the beginning of my art education until the end of my studies can be buried. However, there is no need for that action. The only question is the method We want to choose to influence the minds of others.
