Chrysalides enclosing no larvae, chrysalides made up of paper and ropes, perfect for this world's loners to isolate themselves. How did it happen? How did this tied up, wrapped up, caught in tensed harnesses, no-face person (so much depersonalized as to find its identity in this very lack of traits) squeeze into the artist's mind?
By Traian Abruda

Wraps for My Soul were created by an extremely sincere artist. They are about us. The fact that the Romanian art, for more than half a century, is essentially tragic, became sort of brand name to the place.
By Catalin Davidescu

Exploiting the symbol and the referential field of the sarcophagus, Wraps for My Soul are made up of prints that set the artist's experience in time. Wraps for My Soul assume an amount of spiritual imposed to the material by contact with the enclosed soul, condensed in a secret imagistic experience - and the reverse, a tragic enclosing of soul in ephemeral wraps. In these assemblies, prints - a precious and humble material, just like the living material itself - are used in a process of crumpling. The artist herself uses the term aggressed print.
