A large part of his artistic work is the collection of various materials and things. On the one hand, this process serves him as inspiration, on the other hand, the collection of raw materials also results in an examination of material cultures and consumer societies. Which are reflected in the content of the works. The collected things are mostly misappropriated and sometimes become semi-functional objects. They often have a reference to everyday objects and move between realms of wearables, sculptures, and useable objects. His works span an arc between the palaeolithic period to the present day and open up new contexts through the range of references.
