“My goal as an artist is to decontextualize people and their actions and reconstruct them in a way that reveals the absurdity of our contemporary society. Looking beyond the obvious, my work is presented as a critique of consumerism, of consumption as a new social and economic order that is imposed by systematic creation and by promoting the desire to purchase goods in large quantities. The birth of the desire for the excessive consumption of goods, as a redundant need, a need that did not exist before that specific good appeared, is a symbol of the deformation of both the individual and society in contemporary times.”
