Leo, the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles steps into the streets. Leo stands ready with his swords drawn. Built entirely from actual 90s VHS tapes, this piece fuses childhood nostalgia with gritty urban energy, turning forgotten media into something bold and present.

First piece in my new “VHS Heroes” collection.
