Wesker would read exploration books about various regions in the world and come up with interestingly ideological facts and drawings. In 2019 he debuted as a film director releasing a short, Age of Enlightenment (2019) a documentary film that tells the stories you've never heard, what you think or have always thought.

Most of Wesker's portraits depict himself and are rather monochromatic, and the details are quite simplified and lack much transitional tones. This makes them even more alluring and elegant to look at. At one point, he stares at his portraits for long and says, "My portraits are my art of observation. Sometimes you'll will never comprehend what's in them. There is this reality and emotion so subtle that they become more real than reality and In a gallery full of art. I'd still stare at myself. How ironic."
