In 2017, he earned an MA in Contemporary Art from the Tromsø Academy of Contemporary Art and Creative Writing in Norway.

He is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the complex interplay of culture, memory, identity, heritage, spirituality, and epigenetic inheritance—a form of memory transferred across generations in unconventional ways.
