My recent body of work explores the geopolitical landscape through drawing and sculptural installation. I conduct extensive research for each project — through on the ground site visits, aerial flyovers, photographic documentation, interviews, and satellite imagery. Employing a combination of natural and industrial materials, my interest lies in articulating humankind’s desire to take command over the earth, revealing distinct conflicts with ecology, politics and ourselves in large-scale installations that utilize architectural space in a distinct, powerful and imposing manner.
