Coexistence

The “Coexistence” series is an invitation to awaken consciences for the creation of a world pervaded and protected by equality.

The theme of the first poster is the vital concept of gender equality, while in the second – created after the recent global events and coherently with the spirit of the “Black Lives Matter” movement – is the urgent need to create a society in which people are always treated fairly, regardless of the color of their skin, eradicating all types of racism and discrimination.

Listening is strenght

The ear is the most efficient and, at the same time, the most sensitive sensory organ of human beings.

Our perception of the world is strongly influenced by visual stimuli, and that’s why we often underestimate the role of our ears.

In difficult times like this we often don’t know how to act. In my opinion it is essential to listen to those who have a strong voice but often are overheard.

Face 2 Face

These paintings reflect if the digital age and its ways and possibilities of communication brought us closer together in the end, or just increased the quantity of communication units.
They show two wolves, physically separated but linked through a copper wire. The idea was to have a diptych, which could be hung in two different places, but still stays connected.
The wolf is a recurring character in our works, an antropomorphism to examine human behavior in our late modern society. The shades work, similar like the screens we are communicating through, as a barrier that gives the sender the feeling of security while the recipient is hardly able to decode all the informations.

Icarus

“Icarus has become better-known as the flyer who fell from the sky when the wax that joined his wings was melted by the heat of the sun.”
As fascinating and useful the progress of human civilization is, it might be dangerous as well. “Over-Progressing” may become the cause of our annihilation, like the story of Icarus; who flew so high that the sun melted the wax in his wing.
The sentence written in the artwork is a quote from E. O. Wilson, an American biologist, naturalist, and writer; refering to the myth of Icarus.

Night Wanderings, April/May 2020

Inspired by the Robert Adams series ‘Summer Nights, Walking’ I went for a few late night walks around my neighbourhood in north London. I realised that because of lockdown, I hadn’t been out at dark or taken a single photograph for over a month. It felt eerie and unsettling at first. The images were taken on a housing estate near where I live. The swaying trees framed the pockets of light from the windows, each small square representing domesticity, warmth and hope.

Dystopia?

Being born and raised in a Middle-Eastern country with a dictator government, and seeing all the curroption, censorship, embezzlement, military repressions, poverty and etc. Always makes me wonder, are we living in a “Dystopia?”

I CAN’T BREATHE

A reaction to the horrific execution of George Floyd in plain sight of the world. Hopefully his death will lead to the reset of our relationship with our fellow humans and bring about a larger conversation on equality for all.

Buffalo; Plant; Scarecrow; Tree

I am a Romanian artist living and working in Edinburgh, Scotland.  My work involves photography and moving image where I improvise with my body and everyday objects to distort my appearance and create unnatural and subtly distorted characters and scenes. 
‘Buffalo’, ‘Plant’, ‘Scarecrow’ and ‘Tree’ are part of a larger series of black and white self-portraits inspired by flora and fauna.

Me or We

Our mindsets inform our actions. When we’re motivated by self-interest alone we can be distanced from our peers and ignorant of their needs.
A “we” mindset establishes a sense of belonging which naturally fosters empathy for our fellow humans.
