Galeria 15 D

The present works continue the series of paper weavings that explore the fragility and sacrifice of women involved in domestic work, caught in a daily rhythm that leaves them no time for themselves. The black and white contrast present in the works emphasizes the inner tension, symbolizing the opposition between obligation and desire, visibility and anonymity, hope and exhaustion. In the end, the work does not offer a resolution, but opens a space for reflection on the contrast between work and dream, between constraint and freedom, and paves the way for reclaiming one's own life Mihaela Moldovan (Vezentan) is one of the visual artists who form the Malmaison Workshops community and also a member of the Group ~28, a collective dedicated to exploring the representations and experiences of women in art. A graduate of UNArte Bucharest, with a BA in Textile Arts and Textile Design and an MA in Visual Arts, Mihaela Moldovan's artistic practice is in the area of experimental textiles, using old embroidery/lasette techniques, but instead using new materials from the industrial area (strings, cables, hoses, etc.) as well as cut paper techniques inspired by the handicraft workshops of her childhood. Her exhibition activity includes solo and group exhibitions at the Anca Poterașu Gallery, the National Museum of Romanian History, Scena 9, Art Safari, the National Museum of Contemporary Art, and the WHITECUIB Gallery in Cluj.
