In his works, Peter primarily employs white paper, particularly A4 sheets commonly used for carrying information today. By removing all information and starting with a blank sheet of white paper, he found a medium that everyone can relate to. This blank canvas provides him with an opportunity to convey various meanings through his creations.
The fragility of the thin white paper adds to the themes of tragedy and romance that are often present in his works. Through his art, Peter invites us to see the beauty and potential in something as simple as a single sheet of paper.
