"Cretesti Garden as Chinese Landscape" is a project I embarked on at the beginning of 2022, stemming from my recent  part-time move to Cretesti village in Vidra commune, close to Bucharest, a village were my grandparents have lived in and which has been a recurring theme in my work since 2003, in various forms. I document the garden next to my studio, taking into account some rules of Chinese traditional ink painting. At the same time I document the changes that occur in the area: as a result of a county road being enlarged, all road trees have begun to be cut down to accommodate the new requirements of traffic and street works, while a new bridge is being built to align with the capital's belt road, creating mountains of earth in the process.

I can imagine showing this work in the village where I am making it, though no such facilities exist yet.
