Letea recicleaza concurs de design iulie 2020 Poti sa faci obiecte absente si prezente? Asta am incercat, poate vor fi alterate de vreme sau de animalele satului. Si apoi, poate oamenii vor avea grija sa le inlocuiasca partile alterate pentru ca au prins drag de ele. Mi-ar placea sa vad un cocos urcat cu aplomb pe acoperisul stuf, cantandin linistea dupa-amiezii. Sunt 3 obiecte ce sunt la fel, doar ca fiecare are incarcare mai mare din umplere. O structura de lemn ce se desfasoara in forma cilindrica, un cos de papura ce sta agatat si se poate scoate, asezat pe un stativ de lemn, un acoperis din stuf in varf cu un steag de identitate al Letea Recicleaza. Obiectele sunt facute sa imbatraneasca si sa fie inlocuite usor.

the name of the alphabet of tuareg, a nomadic people of Sahara desert, prone to extinction word found in Neagu Djuvara book of memories

This word was found by mistake and gives a new perspective of isolation. My sister lives in a French speaking country for some time. We were talking about the people dancing on a Dalida song in the streets of Paris for 2 minutes before police came to spread them. And she said "Uau. O luam razna in confinare", kind of "Oh, this confinare is making us go crazy". For the moment I said she must have Romanized a French word, confinement. But later, I looked and this word exists. confiner in French / confina in Romanian meaning: to isolate, but also to adjoin and share a limit with someone.

These days of domestic isolation, we read & watch or listen, words everywhere are our friends. And it is such a joy to learn new words in any language.

Acum 6 ani am desenat peste fotografiile făcute la țară în Cocora Ialomița, de Paște. Desenele au stat până acum într-o arhivă pe un hard pe care îl folosesc rar. Ar fi trebuit să fie o carte de colorat, dar în timp am uitat de ele. Ofer acum desenele ca să vă înveselească zilele de stat în casă și să vă aducă aminte că vor veni vremuri mai bune. Să vă bucurați de ele cum m-am bucurat eu de țara mea de care îmi este dor.

Puteți descărca desenele de aici.

I had a great learning experience during Studiomud ceramics workshop. It was great because everybody was relaxed and smiling, even when things went wrong. And because there is not much to loose when one works with mud, except time. But we loose time anyway, aren’t we? One of the objects I clumsily created is this wall decoration with chilhood memories.
