His artistic endeavors focus on issues of post- and trans-modernity in the Global South, postcolonial identity, and contemporary technology. He often employs media such as sound, music, and moving images to construct a narrative vocabulary, offering alternative perspectives on the interconnectedness of human condition and ecological environments. Many of his works have explored the special historical circumstances of ethnic and technological exchange between the African, Asian, and Afro-Asian Sea regions.
