    The plastic plane on which Tourje works is like an enchanted looking glass. The presentation of signs and images via the reverse side of see-through surfaces is a conduit for communicating Tourje's diverse life experiences. Expressive and varied in theme, Tourje often highlights the subcultures of skateboarding and music-making.
