Homeland

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.
