The exhibition presents the development of the artist’s creative journey between 1985 and 2025 through sculptures, installations, drawings, paintings, sound projections, film, and other works. His artistic expression explores the relationship between art, society, and contemporary history, raising questions about the perception of art in times of global social and political upheaval.
