The dimensions of the grey rectangle in the painting correspond to a European passport. Passports function as measures of privilege within today’s global neoliberal order. Holders of certain passports can travel freely and pursue happiness wherever they choose, while others remain trapped in poverty and exploitation. Meanwhile, money, goods, and services are permitted to cross borders with ease.

Lines of perspective is one of the simplest means of creating a pictorial space. With language, we can make spaces that exist only in our minds. Yet linguistic constructions are also used to confine physical space and restrict our freedom of movement. Borders are nothing but lines on a map, but the idea of nation-states keeps them in place. The reality of global capitalist corporate colonialism is dependent on them. The principle of equal human worth cannot be fulfilled until freedom of movement is recognised as a fundamental human right.

Template is a compilation of works made by using pieces of wooden plates as templates. They function a bit as a mould or matrix for the finished work.

Reminiscent of Richard Serra's Verb List, I use simple and clearly defined actions to shape the filler in my works. This method ensures that non-cognitive aspects of the production process allow for unknown elements to enter.

Res Ipsa is a compilation of works made by an act shaping the filler once it is prepared inside the frame. The works thus function as a recording device and give a statement of the event taking place while the filler was still wet.

Res Ipsa is Latin for "the thing itself" and is part of the juridical term "Res ipsa loquitur" (the thing speaks for itself), used when an injury or accident in itself clearly shows who is responsible, such as an instrument left inside a body after surgery.
