The paintings Cabin Fever and Ghost focus on small human silhouettes trapped within the confined, abstract rooms of trucks. Based x-rays by the border patrol looking for stowaways crossing into Europe, the paintings capture these human beings as vulnerable and undesired guests within a harsch process, a byproduct of a globalised and technocratic society. Ghost displays a lonely silhouette, juxtaposed against the cargo around him.
