Question Two:
As I have grown older, my love for my culture has grown as I was able to understand it more. Living in America for all your life and then going to a place where everything is run differently obviously has an effect on you. I was inspired by the strength of the people, how they lived their lives each day, and how they didn't bother with so many things that people back home do bother with. My design style has been concrete for a while, however, these experiences have added some life to the way I design; giving it a more tranquil overall feel to it.
I consider myself a person with an open mind, and many things in both cultures affect me in different ways. For example, I am a huge fan of electronic music and futuristic styles of artwork and architecture. Most people can say that my style is more futuristic than anything, probably because of a "dream I wish to carry out but never will" kind of thought.
Culture is something that changes as the days go by, and I will always be influenced by different aspects of it. This is what inspires me and keeps my ideas flowing when it comes to the electronic canvas.
