REWRITING CONSUMER CULTURE
INTO CONTEMPORARY MYTH.
40+ EXHIBITIONS · COLLECTED ON FOUR CONTINENTS
Contemporary mixed-media art exploring how consumer culture shapes our myths, identities and sense of value.
ICONS OF COLLAPSE explores what happens when the symbols we built to endure collide with a culture built to be disposable.Drawing on mythology, cultural icons and the physical remains of consumer culture, the series examines how ideas of progress, freedom and value are reshaped by endless consumption. Discarded packaging becomes both material and evidence — placing what we choose to worship beside what we choose to throw away.Not a vision of the end, but a question of what we are becoming.ICONS OF COLLAPSE · 2026
BLOOM FROM THE LEFTOVERS · 2026
Bloom from the Leftovers explores transformation — and the possibility of creating new meaning from what has already been discarded.
Built from abandoned objects, packaging fragments and the visual language of contemporary culture, the series turns leftovers into artifacts. Ancient symbols, philosophical codes and modern pop icons collide across objects that were never meant to last — transforming waste into vessels of memory, meaning and renewal.
What we discard does not disappear. It becomes the material for what comes next.
PORTRAITS FROM THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT · 2024
Portraits from the Fast Food Restaurant explores the point where personal identity meets the visual language of mass consumption.
Built from real fast-food packaging, familiar faces emerge from the brands, colors and disposable materials that surround everyday life. What appears personal and individual is physically constructed from a culture designed for repetition — questioning how much of who we are is shaped by what we consume.
We consume brands. But somewhere along the way, their symbols become part of us.
THE VÖGELHAUS · 2025
The Vögelhaus explores the paradox between freedom and captivity — and how easily one can begin to resemble the other.
In a surreal world of birds, cages and displaced realities, familiar symbols lose their expected meaning. Who is free, who is trapped — and who has simply learned to accept the boundaries around them? The work turns a seemingly playful universe into a reflection on autonomy, perception and the structures we choose to live within.
Sometimes the strongest cages are the ones we no longer recognize as cages.Own the Unexpected.
Rewriting Consumer Culture into Contemporary Myth.
What we discard says something about what we value.
