The series Pack deals with gang clothing and its symbols. The subjects are based on color and black-and-white photographs that were published in the 1970s, among others in New York Times articles. The series examines in its life-size motifs in particular their anthropological and social level, the totemic elements of the symbols, as well as the codes contained in clothing. The oil on canvas technique used combines the materiality of clothing with the raster artifacts of image storage on the same pictorial plane.
