"Some Things to Remember" functions as a memory palace that emerged from the necessity of preserving memory across cultural distances. Its visual language evolved from a daily mark-making practice and its opacity has roots both in my upbringing in communist Romania, where discretion often meant survival, as well as in a rejection of the current digital culture's constant demand for transparency. Script-like symbols and repetitive patterns function as codes that refuse easy interpretation, inviting viewers instead to bring their own associations to the work. By their shapes and configurations, they allude to fragments of visual memories. Some are easy to pin down -  a candy box or an old rug, others are more elusive, flitting images from our past. The installations propose that remembering as an act of cultural survival depends not on perfect preservation but on accumulated fragments and sustained attention, where meaning emerges through individual encounter and patient observation. 
These concepts manifest throughout the work as ceramic sculptures, paintings and carved wooden elements that coalesce into evolving architectural environments. Small sculptures nestle in painted niches like discovered relics while larger reliefs cascade across walls, their surfaces shifting between matte earthiness and luminous reflection. Traditional materials—ceramic, gold leaf, egg tempera—meet contemporary ones like bioplastic and tyvek. The installations demand physical navigation, revealing different meanings depending on viewing angle and proximity, transforming viewers into collaborators who complete the archive through their presence.
