Michael works in the between space of Hauntological Anthropology.

Exploring the lingering presence of the past in contemporary human experience, particularly how memory, absence, and spectral traces shape culture, identity, and social structures. Informed by his lived experience with mental illness and his disability, Michaels work examines the psychological and material ways unresolved histories, lost futures, and forgotten voices manifest—both personally and collectively.

Through layered textures, decayed surfaces, fragmented forms, and spectral light, he investigates how trauma, memory, and the unseen shape our perception of reality.

His ongoing projects, including The Outer Book: Codex of the Unutterable, delve into these themes through a combination of visual art, digital media, and experimental narrative structures.

His creative writing further extends this exploration, using fragmented storytelling, non-linear timelines, and dreamlike imagery to evoke the uncanny intersections between history, memory, and the present.

By working with artifacts, architecture, folklore, and emerging media, he seeks to reveal the ghosts that haunt both personal and social spaces—examining how the echoes of the past continue to shape individual identity, collective consciousness, and the environments we inhabit.
