‘’Homeland’’ is my main project that I began in 2019 and am still working on, it's my personal story, when I was a child, my parents emigrated abroad for work and left me to spend my time with grandparents in the picturesque and remote northern region of Moldova. I usually identify myself with children and teenagers I photograph, they experience the same reality of emigration of their parents, as I did. This project seeks out the connections between people from the northern Republic of Moldova and their surrounding scenery.
I travel a lot in villages, the quiet place inspires me and people there, their simple and natural way of life, their connection with land and animals, many times there I feel myself again in childhood or teenage years, I feel a nostalgia for my past. My work itself evokes a nostalgic yearning for family, the past, and simply life itself. I set out on a quest to find a homeland in the faces of the people I photograph. One third of Moldova's population has emigrated, and the number of young citizens leaving only increases each year. Homeland is a poetic quest for roots, for a home who’s meaning always changes, even in the understanding of children.
