Utilising video, performance art, photography, text, and textiles, he challenges notions of alienation, sexuality, intimacy, and identity. Artist-in-residence in places such as KulturKontakt Austria and the Ankara Queer Art Program. His work featured in Montenegro’s contribution at the Venice Biennale (2022).
