I started this series of compositions at the age of 37, after losing someone that i loved very much: my grandmother. She raised me from the day i was born until age of 7 when i went to school in a very old house in a lost countryside village from eastern Romania. I gathered so much memories from that period of time and i deeply think that helped me so much to think, to dream,to be what i am today. She was a pure soul, naive in a good and great sense of humanity, that lived in another dimension, in another archaic age of earth, of existence. She died not knowing this. Is very hard to imagine that all this memories will endure only inside of me and i try to find a way to give them some form, some energy, expression. I was so sad not having her around me and so obsessed on me that in the last of her years the number of my visits was less . I cry sometimes in a strange state of sadness and joy in the same time feeling that her positive energy will endure in me and after me into my children. Is so important to not forget our first steps, our first contemplation of the forest, of the ground and skies, our childhood roots.
