His practice explores the complex relationship between diasporic identities and cultural heritage. In his transdisciplinary practice, he frequently employs autobiographical elements to critically examine themes of exile, migration, and the body. Working across drawing, sculpture, video and installation he often engages with archives, the built environment and found objects.
His research has inspired performative walks along contested borders, the embodiment of abstract choreographies within war bunkers, and diaristic pieces that reflect the queer experience.
