Author's description: „Part of the Romanian Plain,Baragan is,according to the etymology of the word,a large field exposed to the icy north wind in winter and to the harsh winds along the year,during the storms.The word Baragan comes from the dialect of the pecenego-cumans,the last migratory peoples that crossed our territory on their way to Balkans. For me ,as an artist,Baragan is a land with broad horizons where I found temporary shelter when I decided to leave the urban jungle of the capital to be closer to my mother nature,between heaven and earth, not thinking that such a decision could implicitly mean living between life and death sometimes... The picture immortalizes the hibernal landscape from mid March 2018 when I first felt what it means to live at the crossroad of winds and at the mercy of nature. The experience,lived intensely at the limit of survival, insufflated me much more respect than the initial feeling I already had before leaving the urban jungle, towards the permanent inhabitants of the place,perfectly adapted to the environmental conditions, with deep roots in the earth.These are heroes,martyrs without a glory in permanent struggle with life, with the existence often found in the cruel and ruthless beating of nature. Especially in winter,when the children's dream fairytale turns, lightly but surely,into the “white hell“ with frosts like the hardened steel in the fire... The modest,snow-covered cottages of two or four meters tall and the numb nature turn completely into ice-glass,and the streets seem faster tunnels,despite the wide horizons offered by the warm seasons... Man's existence in Baragan is alike nature..“today is,tomorrow is no longer“...The strongest resists,but it is not known how long...!„
