Artist in Residence at Edileco Group

2023–2025

BUCHAREST + VALLE D'AOSTA

Between 2022 and 2025, I worked as an artist-in-residence embedded within a company's operational environment, producing artworks designed specifically for its offices and real estate developments.

DURATION

2023-2025

FORMAT

Hybrid role - artist + organizational
participant

IMPACT

Created works that function as
active presences shaping
atmosphere, attention, and
meaning in workspaces

For the first time in my practice, I held a hybrid role: alongside producing art, I was directly involved in the everyday life of the organization by taking care of the office environment and supporting the opening of the company's subsidiary in Romania. This dual position allowed me to work from within the organization, not as an external provider, but as an active participant in its structures and rhythms.

The resulting works function not only as visual elements, but as active presences that shape atmosphere, attention, and meaning, acknowledging workspaces as cultural, social, and human environments.

100 Meters of Research

2018-2019

BUCHAREST + ROME

100 Meters of Research was initiated as a way to use research and artistic tools to engage civic society by inviting people not only to observe, but to contribute, reflect, and learn together.

IMPACT

Generated 21+ meters of
documented dialogue

In 2018, I launched a series of three connected interventions, designed to generate artistic material through participation. Together, these initiatives formed an ongoing process aimed at constructing 100 meters of research: a material and symbolic archive shaped by collective dialogue.

The process began at 15Design Gallery, in Bucharest, with 10 Meters of Research, where I worked publicly and invited visitors to engage with the material as it was being developed. It continued in the ADW 1.0 - Adaptive Workspace, where standardization and repetition became central themes, and later expanded to Accademia di Romania, in Rome, where dialogue and silence were explored as tools for collective thinking.

Across these different contexts, the work focused on redesigning spaces for dialogue by transforming galleries, workplaces, and institutional settings into active environments for knowledge exchange.

Taken together, these initiatives form a continuous investigation into how artistic practice can activate civic participation, reshape how we gather and communicate, and support new forms of collective sense-making.

Sh Media

2018

BUCHAREST

This project began as an artistic intervention and became a collective movement built around a shared goal: to create a new media surface, one that responds to disinformation, fragmentation, and isolation through creative collaboration.

IMPACT

Demonstrates how movements
begin through connection

In 2018, I transformed my home into a production space by covering an entire room with paper. The installation was built using 67 Romanian and international newspapers and magazines, 15 square meters of recyclable paper, and 250 meters of adhesive tape.

I invited 50 people to "help the artist". 34 people showed up: designers, bloggers, entrepreneurs, professors, PhD students, and corporate leaders. Most of them had never met before.

I asked them to help me to build a manifesto responding to the state of the press and the quality of information at that time. Each participant received an envelope containing one keyword, a specific color, and tape. They were invited to intervene freely on the walls, floor, and ceiling by cutting, drawing, underlining, layering, and assembling content directly onto the paper-covered surfaces.

For 4 hours, people collaborated, argued, laughed, disagreed, and connected. By the end of the night, every surface of the room carried human traces: ideas, tensions, hope, frustration, and care. The next morning, the space stood as a collective media layer, produced not by one author, but by many minds working together.

The four walls of the room were later digitized into a single collage, printed on fabric, and transformed into a coat. The coat became a shared object, stitched into, written on, and altered by members of the community. It functioned as a living archive of collective identity and trust.

Referenced in my TEDx talk, the project demonstrates how movements begin: when people come together around a shared intention, contribute their differences, and build something collectively. It shows that order does not come from control, but from connection, and that the future is shaped not by isolated talent, but by connected minds.
