The resulting artworks often embrace abstract, distorted, and occasionally grotesque forms.
With a practice in art-making that spans a decade, his works have been shown at numerous exhibitions and public art projects where he has exhibited sculptures, conceptualized site specific installations as well as screened films he directed under his independent film production entity, Banal Films.
