He transforms mass-produced consumer goods, such as clothing, into art, exploring their capacity to conceal, reveal, and tell stories. His work merges the principles of pop art and contemporary art, exploring the transformation of mass-produced consumer goods into art. Through collage, assemblage, and the reuse of garments, he investigates the relationship between clothing, identity, and social belonging. Inspired by artists such as Robert Rauschenberg and Frank Stella, his work redefines clothing as a narrative object. Clothing not only covers the body but also disguises, conceals, and reveals, functioning as a witness to the social construction of appearance.
