Heritage
The title of the artwork is meaningful to those who know the culture. This pattern is a traditional Romanian pattern, most of the old, home woven bed covers, cushions and cloths have this pattern. So heritage is quit appropriate for a title.

This was a bit of a puzzle, but I suppose that big dot means the target zone. I'm not sure though.
Stepping into this room was like stepping into a different universe. I saw from the entrance, that I'm going to see some amazing works, very different from what I saw in the other rooms.
Faith
Looks like a leaf and the veins but life is just like that. There are so many crossroads and forks.
Empathy
Tree of Life
Another strange one, but I love the colors.
The Spirit of Bolyai
This is an amazing work that I've seen before at another exhibition, but would only make sense if you know the history of the two Bolyai.
Farkas Bolyai (9 February 1775 – 20 November 1856; also known as Wolfgang Bolyai in Germany) was a Hungarian mathematician, mainly known for his work in geometry. source
János Bolyai (15 December 1802 – 27 January 1860) or Johann Bolyai, was a Hungarian mathematician, who developed absolute geometry—a geometry that includes both Euclidean geometry and hyperbolic geometry. The discovery of a consistent alternative geometry that might correspond to the structure of the universe helped to free mathematicians to study abstract concepts irrespective of any possible connection with the physical world. source
Father and son, two brilliant mathematician of those time, who's work is known worldwide. There's a high school named after them in Targu Mures, there's a famous university named after them in Cluj Napoca.
This wall mat not only has the portraits of the two mathematicians, but also some formulas, geometry and text. It's a very interesting one for sure. Too bad it was hung as it was.
These warm colors caught my eye the minute I stepped in the room. The artwork is called Separation and indeed, the artwork is split in two.
Harvest
Here it was a bit difficult to see the harvest, maybe I can see abundance of food, but can't distinguish between dishes.

What surprised me here was the text was in English :)
Genesis
Pepita
I wasn't the only visitor in the gallery, but I was definitely the one who spent the most time in there. I tried to figure out each artwork, see what's the message the artist meant to pass on to the visitors. Did I succeed? Highly doubt it, but it was a lot of fun.
Crib
Even though this artwork looked rough, I loved it. I'm not sure how it would look in a living room but I loved it.
Sand Glass
Same author, different artwork, same style.
Hedwiga
I don't know about you, but I found this absolutely brilliant. The color combination is perfect and even though the artwork is made of canvas, it's clearly visible that the artist anted to portrait. I tried to find out what the name and the date means, but I'm not sure I was able to. I mean Hedwiga most likely was a noble, but other than that ...
Thread of Life
This was another brilliant concept. The thread of life can be tangled, sometimes it feels like you're trapped and held hostage.
I've never thought you can create so many things of fiber and textile and I'm sure this is just a small portion of what you can create.
