The right alphabet

This monochrome ink collage unfolds like a recovered fragment from an alternate archive—half‑royal decree, half‑urban palimpsest. At its center, a regal female figure emerges from the paper, her portrait both honored and interrupted. Ornamental jewelry and courtly attire signal nobility, yet her face is partially eclipsed by bold graphic intrusions: the assertive letter E, geometric blocks, and film‑strip textures that slice through the historical calm.
Around her, bureaucratic Romanian inscriptions float like displaced relics of authority. Serial numbers, stamps, and clipped words scatter across the surface, creating a rhythm of coded interruptions.
The composition feels both ceremonial and subversive: a queen presiding over a fractured archive, a portrait caught between reverence and erasure. The ink textures—grainy, layered, and deliberately imperfect—give the work a tactile sense of time collapsing. It reads as a meditation on heritage, documentation, and the quiet rebellion of recontextualizing official imagery into something personal, enigmatic, and defiantly contemporary.
