Sketches and drawings are often the starting point of his work, dealing with themes like absence, chaos theory, time, and space. In his installations he attempts to bring out poetical qualities from everyday observations, events, and phenomena, conveying a curiosity about physical laws, and how everything is connected, in particular; how absence can make something even more present. Also characteristic of his work is a feeling of displacement.
