[RESEARCH]

Fascinated by spirituality as well as the psychological and neuroscientific understandings of the self, his research and his trans-disciplinary work focus on (de)constructing the concept of reality-formation while investigating the socio-political dimension surrounding it.
He orientates his research in conscious re-unification of the collective.self and dig on the factors that may segregate an individual to create a reality of its own.self : due to the interaction, sensation & perception with other objects present in an individual’s environment.

In his research, he refers the neuroscientific hypothesis on the working of the Self by Antonio Damasio, Georg H. Mead’s psychological concepts of True.Self & False.Self-identities which are further related to the Indian philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, the concept of Avataar & quantum mechanics theory that form a philosophy: the Self guides through the knowledge & ignorance of the matter that is forming a reality in a space-time continuum it is present in.
In his interdisciplinary works, he uses various artistic media, always focusing on the human body, which reflects the above-mentioned themes.

In relation to his research project "In-between Privacy” an article which philosophizes the psychological working of the society in regards of private/public space definitions & uncanny digital world was published in an edition of KUPF- Cultural Platform of Upper Austria.
