The “Hiding in the City” series is a profound and sensitive reflection on the human condition. “I do not blend into the background; rather I am taken over by my surroundings”. The artist is not looking for a way to disappear to demonstrate the loss of individual conscience, but is making a statement on the damage to individuals caused by urban economic development – a kind of silent grip where man has lost his ability to adapt.
