Information about shootings in the USA no longer surprises anyone. The apathy is caused by the number of firearm attacks that take place in the United States of America. On social media, there are profiles that present daily statistics about shootings. This repeatedly sparks discussions about access to guns and what drives people to pull the trigger.

The artist decided to celebrate his birthday in Tampa, Florida, USA. Foolio rented a house on Airbnb for this purpose, but the number of guests exceeded the agreement, which led to police intervention on-site.
