Josh's works deal with questions about identity, transmigration, queer politics and representation, states of being, and ways of inhabiting the body. They are currently developing a cosmology of works that create new forms of rituals, and embodiment, based on queer ecologies. They are interested in the duality between the physical form and its representation manifested through the alter identity he created called “Void”.
