For Tirzo Martha art is the space with infinite possibilities for strengthening his voice, and a platform for his urge to communicate. Much like an anthropologist, he goes into all the details that comprise the big puzzle of how people exist. Besides all of the oral and physical information that he gathers, he is also getting visual information that can be the point of departure for his artworks. He considers the living-conditions and the way people cope with their space and objects; their strength to visualise dreams, hopes, disappointments and states of mind. He translates such information into ideas and structures that become the body of his work.
