Benjamin on his work:

Evoking a sense of rapid production and consumption, my current work utilizes architecture and urban planning as metaphors to probe issues of growth, frailty, and self-destruction. I explore pattern, fractures, shifts and realignments to question the idea of development, destruction and co-dependence, and in turn obsessive fetishes and vain ambitions. I am interested in the dualities of the habitat that is at once residential and industrial, private and public, constructed and de-constructed. These dualities are further explored through a language of form that pairs elements that are highly finished and completely raw, explicit and evocative.
