“Most of his works are an effect of long-term fascination with objects and his contemplation about our relations with them. The artist reaches for the sociology of objects and it’s observation about similar status of objects and people in the relationship webs that create reality. His works are a reflection on the belief that only by undemining the anthropocentric perspective of man and accepting object’s active influence on the relationship webs, in which we function together.”
