I set the goal of trying to understand, throughout my projects, the condition of the Romanian society of today. I am analyzing different aspects that are essential for defining a society: the religion, the politics and the history. My intention is not to criticize, rather to highlight certain changes that people have experienced, resulting in an alteration of their identity.
My latest project tries to investigate the crafts, representative and valuable for the Romanian traditional culture and intensively promoted throughout the communist period, they are slowly disappearing. I am trying to integrate in my work, ornamental carving, marquetry, pyro gravure, giving these lost trades new possible meanings, using them not as decorative mediums in the structure of a functional object but creating objects around them. I work with various mediums from sculpture to photography, video, and installation in this way keeping my work fresh, flexible and as understandable as possible.
