Accessories for Luxury Vision is a series of work in which I use found materials from specific places and then represent them into gallery settings.Combining conflict as an entry point and my interest in archeology, here I use a body bag aquired from Red Cross (ICRC) and found materials from the local environment, and alter them to create an artwork, which mimics antique tombs and jewlery pieces as seen in the museums.
