Erruas works generally on large sizes and designs, white themed installations leaving light to underline the spaces. They are sometimes stripped buildings, such Almohada, or assemblies created from the same items as knives: both works have been shown at MuHka Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp, Belgium.
