He worked with artist Charles Juhasz Alvarado, Antonio Navia, Cacheila Soto Gonzalez conceptual artist Jennifer Allora + Guillermo Calzadilla and video artist Tamara L. Rivera.

By means of the photographic manipulation and appropriation of common everyday object, He gives life give to Utopian planets that lack of all the social problems that we suffer.

-His intensely colored images are meant to depict a child-like extraterrestrial world, with blobby white figures made from cotton balls as its protagonists. But the alien shapes and high-key blues and reds dissolve any real reference into abstract, half-identifiable volumes.
