Traditions, customs, folk stories, and legends serve as the foundation for identity and as a glue that binds a society together,
but what happens when there is a sea change in the national landscape?
By combining visual references to Romanian fairy tales, turn-of-the-century embroidery patterns, and scenes from a remote fishing village
turned nontraditional tourist destination, I tried to capture the feeling of the first generation of Romanians who do not have personal experience of what it was like to live under the rule of Nicolae Ceaucescu’s Communist state,
but still carry the rich traditions and history of their country by birthright.
