Traces of unsent messages
2025
To x, from xx
I dream of you
Think of us
Nicht vorwerfen
You did this to us
Poate am fost another girlfriend (Maybe I was another girlfriend)
I do miss you truly
Stop Stop Stop Stop
you you you you you you we
Immer doller liebe
Nu-mi amintesc (I don’t remember)
I mentioned...I mentioned
Absence Presence
I I you I you I you
Thank you for the understanding
We fed love
To who consumed my existance
Contemplating thought thinking
Hurting
You know me better than I do
‘Stricat’ standardele ('Broken' standards)
Ai (You)
‘M-ai umplut de pacate’ (You filled me with sins)
Keep ‘, ’’, ’’’, ’’’’
I am enought
Si da Si da Si da Si da (Yes Yes Yes Yes)
Trying to be a dick
I will make you
I hate you for this
I should have stopped I continued
Wait for it bebe
You’re using me
Nothing but my worst nightmare
Your presence - in the absence of it
Totul ar fi roz (Everything would be pink)
Continua doare (Continue It hurts)
Urasc! nu, nu urasc, iubesc! (I hate! no, I don't hate, I love!)
M.f.
N-ai dat doi bani (You didn't give a damn)
Human respectful life?
Thinking of you often
Ani si ani abuz fizic verbal (Years and years of verbal physical abuse)
Iubesc fiecare particica (I love every bit of it)
Waiting for you
Concept
This series delves into the lingering presence of unsent messages. Using cyanotype and a typewriter, I transformed anonymous submissions into these visual traces, each work representing a message.
The use of layering, accumulation, the palimpsest, touches a bit into the idea of how now adays if a message is written is usually done on a screen, usually a phone. There a message can be changed and altered as many times as its needed, but that same principle of erasing, rewriting, erasing, rewriting was to happen in an analog format, the overlaying of the words become blurry, their trace remains but they are unreadable.
With 44 contributions, the project ultimatelly took shape as a self-published zine, which can be view here.
Each artwork is made in 2025, silver gelatine print, 38.1 x 27.9 cm. The last 2 works are diptyque.
