Magic Vessel

Paprika is Mar’s way of compressing his personal obsessions—science fiction, fashion, queer and subcultural history, and more—explored through his immersive and experimental practice. Altogether, his work, which ranges from sculpture to works on paper, plumbs the sentiments of cultural alienation, both from a personal and universal perspective. In the past five years, assemblage has been the main focus of Mar’s work—a practice that binds found objects, ephemera, personal belongings, and paper collage into vibrant, multi-dimensional pieces equally as profound in meaning.
