Life

My inspiration is what affects my existence: The meeting with a woman that leaves a deep mark in my soul... The face that brings up memories of times and places I have lived... The myth that I have heard or read... The moment of joy and loneliness that follows an erotic experience... The anger that grows in a world of increasing injustice... The fugue by Bach that comes to me in the darkness of December...

And then the inspiration that comes from the two of us, from me and from my other self, my Minotaur...

Mother, Father, Death, Crete
