As artists we are all influenced by artists from the past. Scream refers in a way to the scream of Munch. My scream is a fossilized scream that already sounds for decades. We scream when in fear, wen in need of attention, when angry or in pain and even when we're happy.

This scream, more or less, depicts mainly the fear we all have once in a while. The fear that clutters our breath and the only thing we can do is open our mouth. The fear that sounds for decades.
