My work examines the impact of consumer culture on 21st century society. Creating a self-identity through consumer culture motivates me to create art from existing products on the market. I present the products that I purchase in a new context that is different from their original purpose, introducing humor and changing their meaning. I often uses inflatable products, which I puncture and consequently render completely useless. I view the idea of mass consumption culture as a psychological product and construct that affects the construction of social culture and shapes our lives. My works show modern consumers buying and selling useless products that they don't really need. Ready-made objects are used as mirrors to reflect to the viewer the bottomless pit of unnecessary products spawned by consumer culture.
