Info
Deliberately ambiguous, my practice revolves around pastiche, the repurposing of objects, and their activation through performance. Art history and pop culture collide, as do the sacred and the profane, the tragic and the grotesque. I strip everyday manufactured objects of their function, transform or reproduce them, recasting them through an aesthetic and poetic lens to challenge the violence inherent in the values they carry.
Corporate aesthetics, brand identity, and mass media provide recurring grounds for experimentation. As a trickster, I infiltrate and disrupt these ideological apparatuses through scenographic devices or interventions in public space. By walking the line between humour and seriousness, fancy and cheap, genuine and fake, I offer a twisted take on consumerism and social markers of success.
