My works explore public images indicative of contemporary life. Particular mass media images reveal to me an ambiguous atmosphere between humor and horror: safety instructions, ribbon cutting ceremonies, political conferences, etc.
I explore the ridiculousness, threat of violence and fear in society, the absurdity and the loneliness behind these politically-correct, capitalistic images.
However, life is full of contradictions, I'm not ridiculing anything or making any demands, but rather outlining a kind of lighthearted contradiction which makes use of the context of signage to create the effect of a symbolic self-negation.
