According to the artist, he enjoys very much making something digital with his hands. Besides, he enjoys making work that requires a physical proximity. “I enjoy the fact that this work travels from the intangible, the binary, to the tactile, the singular. By invoking these mediums, I hope to generate a dialogue and sentiment that has something to do with the effort, repetition, focus, discipline, absurdity, and love that went into its making”.
