Namaste

See the world through
my eyes in photos
and articles.
Get inspired

I love beauty and kindness and I find some beauty even in saddness. Love plants and animals and people as well, the coherent, real ones. No-game. Life is just experience, filtered by you. Will you be a scratched, dusty, noisy filter? Will you be a neutral filter? Will you be a sparkly stardust filter?

Inspire and be inspired. Enable and be enabled. Listen and be listened to. Let your soul dance to the music of the world. Dive in your inner world or expand across continents. Be colorful. Be summerish. Be spiritual. Be serendipity. JUST BE.

Looking at people looking at art, in Venice Biennale

on November 27, 2022 2:47 am

  Apparently, my visit of the Venice Biennale was more about observing the other visitors than interiorizing the work(s). I honestly can’t say I was taken aback by most of it… but neither did I expect it to be so. It’s rather hard to bring in controversial work when you’re “representing the nation”. Yet, Cosmin...

Photo work: The political theatre season – 2021-2022

on March 17, 2022 6:57 pm

To stage corona. To dramatize shame. To enact maternity. To (re)produce hospitality work. To listen to history. To sing delivery. To have solidarity in solitude. What does the labour of a commercial worker or a delivery wo/man mean in Corona times? How can one step in the shoes of those who just serves one’s needs?...

Together with Leilei, Andrei, Andrei and Lucian, she was just starting to imagine a NFT-centric exhibition in Romania. But, besides playing around within this new crypto-realm, it was...

reflection

This is my personal space, the online place that represents me. Uncomissioned. Unedited when I want, filtered if I want. All work belongs to me, if not stated otherwise. I would be proud to see my photography help others in their creative endeavours, but I’d be really happy to hear from that creative.

Sincerely hope that my sources of inspiration will be sparkle for you, too.

Inspirational quotes

Control is about as real as a one-legged unicorn taking a leak at the end of a double rainbow.

Mr. Robot

It’s not where you take things from, it’s where you take them to.

Jean-Luc Godard

The part we create from can't be touched by anything our parents did, or society did. That part is unsullied, uncorrupted; soundproof, waterproof, and bulletproof. In fact, the more troubles we've got, the better and richer that part becomes.

Steven Pressfield

The five colours make a man blind, the five tones make a man deaf, because if you can only see five colours, you’re blind, and if you can only hear five tones in music, you’re deaf. You see, if you force sound into five tones, you force colour into five colours, you’re blind and deaf. The world of colour is infinite, as is the world of sound. And it is only by stopping fixing conceptions on the world of colour and the world of sound that you really begin to hear it and see it.
