It is immense.
Basically it is everything.
Not only the artists’ own life
not only other artists’ inspiration
not only the artists’ own frustration.
But the entire world can inspire the artist.
The mechanism of the world.
The mechanism of society.
The events around us.
The injustices beside us.
The dysfunctions.
What the artist sees on television.
What the artist reads in the papers.

The injustices are also a source of inspiration
and they are everywhere.

Everything!
The glutton artist
never stops absorbing matter to express.
As a lawn mover
Combing.
