Little has changed in the space my paternal grandparents called home for over five decades, in a small village by the Danube's muddy banks in Southeast Romania.​

​

Time Capsule reflects on post-socialist domestic realities, on personal archives as sites of memory and transformation, and on what it means to carry a history across borders and time.
 

The work began as a way of bearing witness to a life still being lived. After my grandparents passed, I returned with a different kind of need, to rediscover what remained of them. They were no longer there, but the space was full of who they were. Objects carefully curated and cherished, set aside in a ritual-like manner, neither discarded nor forgotten, act as silent triggers capable of collapsing time and pulling the past back into the present.

​

Inviting viewers into a preserved world, the series examines our relationship with memory, possessions, and place, questioning how human connections are constructed through physical objects and how material remnants continue to shape our emotional landscapes long after we are gone.

 

It is a testament to the lasting impact a life leaves on its surroundings and on those who carry it forward.​​
