Then I  thought that the best tribute to be paid to our dear lost friends and family members is the one which can reach the status of a "helping hand" so the decision to raise money from the selling of all the works in this project was taken with no second thoughts. 
The whole project is based on 11 initial graphite pencil, the entire collection containing illustrations on paper made with inks, charcoal, coffee and pastels as well as oil paintings.​​​​​​​

with the help of Wild Carpathia  and the Volunteers of Sighisoara. 

The first exhibition was scheduled for the 23rd of July 2017. Part of the promotional material I made for this event can be seen in my personal designer portfolio (beginner level) : TheOn Eye . 

All this happened with the help of a very beautiful place called NIVO resto lounge, an elegant restaurant where one can have quite some pleasant time and enjoy fine plates & refined drinks.

This first event was hosted up in the attic of the restaurant where the place has its rustic side very nicely shaped and decorated showing elegance in simplicity. Quite a place for this collection!

The 2nd Exhibition Opening

This time happening in the medieval city of Sighisoara, Mures county, Romania, up in the very Tailors Tower of the citadel. This is one place that's dedicated to artistic manifestations of all kind there: theatre shows, fine arts and photography exhibitions, concerts, mixed shows... you name it! It calls for dynamics in artistic expression and it works! It really works! A most wonderful place!

Moments of priceless exchange of ideas and opinions on art and life have happened and I, personally, felt very inspired and encouraged to go on with this project which has its very delicate side, bringing-up sadness, care and hope altogether. 

Of course, I will have to give thanks to the Association that helped me hold this exhibition to the Tower of Tailors in Sighisoara, Wild Carpathia and the Volunteers of Sighisoara. They made possible a two weeks exhibit which was quite a good time to make the project reach to some people and raise some awareness. Perhaps this can be a lovely start for something more useful and meaningful for the cause to come out of this project.

Digitalising the story: PhotoTouch 

(overlapping double exposures)

For a second time in Sighișoara, with the help of AUM association and the support of the City Hall, this collection was included in a more complex artistic event that gathered artists of the stage, fine artists and children educators for a complete manifestation of cultural purpose and meaning. 

In our times of sorrow and sadness, of pride to take on the quality of being human, we all need a good glass of Champagne with a friend, a nice talk with people who matter and for whom we matter and a good laugh offered by a good show!
The opening was quite a cultural event!

I wish you had no clue about how it feels! 

But then I ask myself: How will ... would you (?), could you(?) 

show some care if my wish came true?

"I wish you knew all about this but then I ask myself...: who would be left out there to tell us all about the "how to" and "whys" with so much certainty (!) ... about the path to take? ... Who would be smart enough to judge what's wrong and right and why?

If you really knew... would you (?) ... could you (?) ... still tell for sure ?? "
