BETWEEN

Dec 2022 – Jun 2023

“BETWEEN” stands as a dialogue between two worlds — distinct in time yet inseparable in spirit. Drawing inspiration from Romania’s communist era and the military austerity of World War II, the collection confronts the weight of discipline, control, and survival. Opposed to this, yet born from it, emerges the world that followed — one shaped by liberation, transformation, and the rediscovery of individuality.

Through contrasting forms, textures, and tones, BETWEEN captures the tension of transition — the fragile space where history meets renewal. It reflects not only what once was, but also what is unfolding; a continuous movement between remembrance and anticipation.

This collection is an exploration of identity caught in flux — suspended between oppression and freedom, uniformity and expression, past and future.
