Le travail de Michael a une forte sensibilité graphique et pop. La géopolitique, le monde naturel et nos affaires se rejoignent dans son travail pour offrir une nouvelle vision de la façon dont nous interagissons et pensons notre environnement. Calme et discrète dans un sens, l'œuvre est aussi une déclaration audacieuse sur le monde que nous habitons tous et les choses qui nous entourent.
