His sculptures are structural structures made of industrially manufactured iron rods or strips and untreated stone. The individual elements of the sculpture are only held together by the principle of force and counterforce, so that the sculptures are always in a state of tension and can jump apart at any time as soon as the state of equilibrium is disturbed. In their radical simplicity, his sculptures approach Minimal Art. The artist is fascinated by the balance, but also by the fact that all the works can easily be rebuilt in another location. This lightness also characterizes his laser sculptures, which he projects into the night sky.
