Noise & Thread

Each work responds to the immediate cultural fabric of Bucharest: a city of paradox, where the remnants of the past are not erased but co-exist with emergent forms of expression. Bucharest’s architectural identity is a palimpsest: layers of Ottoman echoes, French elegance, national revival, totalitarian imposition, and post-1989 improvisation. This contrast is what gives the city its textured, contradictory beauty.

Histories echo as the city hums with memory and emergence; streets carry the weight of what was, whilst marking the outlines of what could be. Here, the surroundings reflect the truth of struggle etched into decaying facades, stairwells that spiral between what is crumbling and what is becoming. The rhythm of the city expands and contracts, opening quiet intervals where renewal takes root. Here is a tension between the impulse to preserve and the hunger to reinvent, between the dust of history and the scaffolding of possibility.
