Driven by a desire to understand the city's urban morphology, this project explores the forces that shaped its physical form. It examines how Debrecen's distinctive spatial structure emerged, how its wide streets developed into their contemporary configuration, and how its historical gardens and the&nbsp;Hortobágy&nbsp;continue to define its identity and evolution. The artwork can be understood as a patchwork of layers of varying quality: a composition of layers with different levels of permeability. At one end of this spectrum lies the “exposed earth” or “bare ground,” which possesses the highest degree of permeability and bears the traces of human, animal, and vegetal lives—the marks of births and deaths embedded within the landscape. At the opposite end are the newly constructed structures on the city's periphery: buildings whose sealed forms reveal nothing of their interiors and thus embody a state of extreme impermeability. Elements with a high degree of permeability are more closely aligned with what may be understood as a "living entity." Areas characterized by greater permeability tend to be more vulnerable within the urban environment. At the same time, however, they offer increased flexibility and adaptability for the city's inhabitants. The map is presented as a collage that reflects the varying levels of interconnectivity and interdependency among these layers, each possessing a different degree of permeability and quality.

It is intended for both children and adults. Short description: Jánoska, the son of a poor widow, goes into the forest to collect wild apples, carrying only a crust of bread, the last food left at home. He shares his meal with a beggar and is rewarded with a golden apple tree. The story follows Jánoska as he learns how to deal with his sudden good fortune. In keeping with the tradition of folk tales, his journey eventually leads him to the emperor’s court, where he asks for the hand of the emperor’s daughter. https://galorsolyaymail.com/Homes Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:06:34 +0000 galorsolya https://galorsolyaymail.com/Homes HOMES &nbsp; &nbsp; 2025 &nbsp; <img width="4030" height="2489" width_o="4030" height_o="2489" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a2170ba38a45573d2091cb12032e0d17db7cdc0d1e5e324cf8e051167697d4e0/IMG_2047.jpeg" data-mid="243870725" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a2170ba38a45573d2091cb12032e0d17db7cdc0d1e5e324cf8e051167697d4e0/IMG_2047.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/379998bceb35bef6b11135db3e0aeb49453cd2f4606f783583f205097384e80f/IMG_1984.jpeg" data-mid="243870724" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/379998bceb35bef6b11135db3e0aeb49453cd2f4606f783583f205097384e80f/IMG_1984.jpeg" /> <img width="3476" height="1469" width_o="3476" height_o="1469" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b3f4149933c2d42397ef2a008a5244ed164fe348f242e7f03f55bdb4f5dd59c/Untitled-1.jpg" data-mid="243870726" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b3f4149933c2d42397ef2a008a5244ed164fe348f242e7f03f55bdb4f5dd59c/Untitled-1.jpg" /> The work proposed for DOM.ESTIC explores the question of what guides people when choosing a home or collaborating with an architect in the design process. What motivates certain decisions over others? And what does “living” symbolize in today’s society? The installation brings together the desires, dreams, and cultural models that shape our choices, placing them alongside a symbolic structure of homes: a fragile grid made of paper, composed of identically sized squares. Like birdhouses, each unit has an opening of a different diameter, depending on the species it is meant to shelter. Beyond the messages conveyed through position, materials, architectural language, and degrees of openness or enclosure, the central question remains: what do homes actually conceal? If we imagine them as tightly sealed bottles cast into the sea, each containing a message, a dream, or a longing, what would we find inside? The two perpendicular planes of the installation represent parallel projections of the same reality: on one hand, the physical space that frames and contains life within its walls; on the other, the imagined life—the dream or ideal image of living—that, in turn, shapes and defines that physical space.

It takes successive or simultaneous events that appear in the painting on the same canvas or different paintings, &nbsp;and transposes them into a narrative structure of 5 stories, animated by two-dimensional figures in an abstract scenographic box. The starting point is also in old texts or their interpretations. In an attempt to continue the tradition of storytelling, stories about love, power, fate or initiation are rejected, stories from the past, which can however be considered current at any time.&nbsp; The performance unfolds through five emblematic stories drawn from different cultural and spiritual traditions, each reflecting on ethics and human destiny. It begins with the tale of Philemon and Baucis from Ovid, portraying the elderly couple as timeless symbols of hospitality and generosity. The scene then shifts to the legend of Saint Ursula and her maidens, evoking devotion, faith, and the ideal of purity. At the heart of the show, a wordless visual sequence—The Flood —interweaves elements from various flood mythologies, distilling their shared imagery and universal message into a powerful theatrical climax. This is followed by the dramatic story of Mariamne, the Jewish princess and wife of Herod I, a narrative of love, jealousy, and crime. The performance concludes with the legend of Saint Christopher, a reflection on faith and human kindness.

The idea for this work emerged from an internal conflict: on the one hand, a resistance to the constant pressure for novelty, to the expectation of continually finding and producing something new under the constraints of material necessity and time, seeking instead refuge in repetition and the comfort of the predictable; on the other hand, a creative spirit that recognizes the need to respond to the real challenges of our time, to take shape in a manner that is coherent, aesthetically compelling, sincere, and complex, while remaining meaningful and useful to society.Everyday Work is a meticulously crafted “rug” made of transparent paper. It alludes both to the textiles traditionally woven by women in the past to become part of a family’s dowry or household furnishings—objects created for domestic comfort rather than with the ambition of becoming art, yet often transcending mere utility to achieve the status of masterpieces—and to the workers’ attendance register of the communist period, a daily record tied to the fulfillment of a required work quota. The work oscillates between these two references and the notion of the artwork itself. Because the rug is made of paper, it becomes a non-functional object, produced with the precision and care of a factory worker, in the hope that the “dowry” created over the course of these three months will ensure our survival—for at least three months.The rug’s defining feature is that its pattern records working days, periods of rest during working days, days off, and holidays—markers that hold significance only for the artist. The pattern was created by hand stitching on white tracing paper, drawing on the tradition of textile objects made for a different purpose and according to consciously applied rules, while employing materials that are unconventional to this practice. The work can only be fully perceived when it is backlit; the pattern becomes clearly visible only in the presence of a light source behind it. The process of creating the pattern also serves a purpose similar to that of drawing a Tibetan mandala: it is a meditative act intended to calm and relax the mind.

LOC was a project done together with Mihai Păcurar, Ioana Hogman, Marius Mornea, for which the proposal of the Labirynth was one of the AR installations that can be seen in Parcul Central of Cluj . The idea of the labyrinth was born during discussions with biologists who were part of the LOC team, when the need to introduce an “island” where the rules are different from those in the park (overexploited by the local administration for festivals and events), was confirmed by the specialists. The labyrinth is composed of alleys delimited by lined, two-dimensional trees, with a small distance between them. The two-dimensionality of the elements in the labyrinth emphasizes the idea of “artificiality”, of a space with “other rules”, out of the ordinary. The rules are simple: the path must be followed in such a way as to follow the alleys, and if the visitor tries a different direction than the predefined one, the image darkens, and he must return to the route. Inside the labyrinth we find two objects called “megaliths”, positioned in such a way that the drawing on the surface of the stones can be partially observed. The drawings represent two images similar to the tree of life: the current situation, a tree with information received from biologists, and a possible scenario in the future, if we follow some simple rules, similar to following the alleys in the labyrinth, which would help increase biodiversity in the Park. In return, respecting the rules requires respect for nature and modesty on the part of all of us.

Intersecția, represent different stories and points of view, all related to the waters of Brădet. Even if from the point of view of time we slide into the distant past or are in the present with thoughts of the future, the stories still meet in the same geographical space, the village of Brădet and the Buzău Twist. Thus, the transparent, overlapping images create a map together, recounting different moments in the village's history. Putting aside the linearity of time, each of these images contributes to the complexity of the final map, and just as due to transparency they are all present/visible at the same time, so too does interconnectivity - the effect of any specific moment represented on the other moments.

project “Searching for a secret garden” is an allusion to Bosch’s Garden of earthly delights’ left panel, in which&nbsp; we look for households with vegetable gardens of small producers, who manage to produce enough food on a relatively small territory for 1-2 families in Transilvania. Gardens that are valuable from the point of view of diversity, complex gardening and beauty, and bring to focus an old sustainable model of cohabitation between man and natural habitat that can be adapted to our contemporary needs.

Instead of botanical observations, the author wishes to present plants as characters with humanlike intentions and will in their movement captured on the photographs. By this metaphorical approach, theatrical setup, we wish to invite the public to rediscover the kingdom of plants, it’s beauty and richness, and fight plant blindness. &nbsp;“An invested and knowledgeable public is one equipped to drive environmental policy reform. A plant aware public will only be achieved through education at all levels”( The botanical education extinction and the fall of plant awareness in Ecology and Evolution, by Sebastian Stroud).

Based on the project “Photos of a secret garden”, using the same technique of the paper filter, the intention with this new approach was to create a story with plants in motion, in a city which has known an incredibly fast real estate development in the last 10 years, witnessing a moment of crisis in the present, while trying to rediscuss and reevaluate new and old value systems, our relation with the natural and man-made world. Taking advantage of her experience in puppetry the author decided to work with plants in the way she does it with puppets. The puppet operates “in the collapsed boundaries between the living and the inanimate”, so “Études from an inner garden” invites the viewer to suspend these boundaries and reestablish a relation based on empathy and sympathy towards the material and natural world - in this case the world of plants. It could be a first step on the way to a less divided world where erasing the dichotomies between animate and inanimate could lead to a more responsible attitude regarding human actions. The project includes the observation and manipulation of plants, with the desire of creating a multidisciplinary work, involving fine arts and narrative in movement. “Etudes from an inner garden” participated at the Bucharest International Dance Film Festival in September 2020, at the Fuori Formato Festival Internazionale di Danza at Torino in 2021 September, at the group exhibition "Rerouting" in the gallery Contemporary Calgary&nbsp; and Oodaaq Festival&nbsp; in Rennes, France in 2022.
