My Darth Vader and Tank Mash-Up Series reimagines one of pop culture’s most powerful figures through a mechanical, industrial lens. Built from upcycled e-waste and found materials, this early work merges the form of Darth Vader with the structure of a tank — exploring themes of strength, conflict, and transformation.
