I'm a Romanian born visual artist and photographer who has lived and worked in Mexico, Europe and the United States. I work on several interrelated projects about transience, loss, memory, identity and the periodic avalanches of history that change the course of human events.
My projects have been supported by grants , fellowships residencies and prizes, from the New York Foundation of the Arts; Art Matters, Washington Projects for the Arts, Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Light Work, Aaron Siskind Foundation, Arts Link, Constance Saltonstall Foundation, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Bemis Foundation, Austrian Ministry of Culture, Anderson Ranch Art Center and Hamilton College and and the inaugural the Society for Photographic Education.
