Over the last 8 years, he has expanded his research on plastic waste as a social phenomenon. It explores all the possibilities offered by this material, considered as waste, with the aim of questioning its use value and the perception people have of it. A wide range of techniques, often experimental, are used to understand and present the material in a new light. 9.8 km, 2019, recycled plastic, 350 x 157 cm.
