The artist intends to play a role as an examiner or analyst of images and not as a creator of them. While numerous images are produced and distributed, their original meanings fail to be delivered to the viewers.
He aims to reveal terror, desire, and snobbery hidden inside daily life and social customs by using the computer to treat well-known images taken from film stills, photographs, and advertisements. To achieve this, he insists that the techniques should be easy and simple while the meaning is as weighty as possible.
In the Beach series, the artist tries to tell, in the way of Lefebvre, the falsehood of leisure time or breaks between periods of work—that these are not times for rest but extensions of forced labor or parts of customary choices imposed by social practice and media.
