Holiday Collages: A Journey Through Local Culture

Each holiday, I embark on a creative venture searching for magazines advertisements in my vacation destination. These get cut into pieces and are later crafted into collages for my friends. This tradition is just an art for friends idea, but also a deep dive into the heart of local culture, popular trends, and culinary delights of the place. By exploring and repurposing the images these cultures present of themselves, I engage with their aspirations, radical elements, and distinctive ideas.

My collages are a playful yet sometimes insightful commentary on the places I visit, reflecting my personal interpretation of their unique cultural landscape. This approach allows me to make art for my friends and make meaningful and memorable holiday carts.
