Building worlds
with words.
Poetry, publication, research, and the discipline of turning ideas into finished work.
01 / An original collection
Published 2024 · EuroprintFerestre către lumi de cuvinte
Windows onto Worlds of Words
I wrote and published Ferestre către lumi de cuvinte (Windows onto Worlds of Words), a collection of 85 original poems exploring memory, time, and the fragile persistence of ordinary moments.
The challenge was not simply to write 85 individual pieces, but to give them a coherent identity as a book. I worked through the decisions that turn separate poems into a collection: revising language, selecting and arranging the pieces, and finding a title that could encompass their different imaginative worlds. Published by Europrint in 2024, the finished volume was launched at the Gala Excelenței.

The Geography of Vanishing Things
The dawn embroidered silver on the grass, In fleeting constellations made of glass; And past the orchard's veil of paling green, The years slipped through the hours, still unseen.
The windows gathered fragments of the May, And held them long after the birds flew away; While dust, like fallen starlight, graced the floor, Where summer used to enter through the door.
The river wore the heavens like a veil, And bore their broken colors, frail and pale; Each ripple held a sky it could not keep, Then laid its little universe to sleep.
The seasons turned as softly as a page, And left their faded gold in winter's cage; Beneath the frost, where silent shadows lay, The roots kept all the warmth of yesterday.
And when the earth awoke from winter's cold, The fields unfolded histories of gold; For every blossom rising toward the blue Was born of vanished summers passing through.

05 / RESEARCH & INQUIRY
The question behind the productInquiry becomes initiative.
The Economic Impact of Greenwashing on Modern Businesses
Through a supervised research project at the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiești's Faculty of Economic Sciences, I investigated the economic consequences of greenwashing, focusing on how misleading environmental claims can influence business credibility and consumer trust.
I presented the work at European University Days: Education and Sustainable Development in the European Union. The research also sharpened a question that would inform my development of Axyera: how can manufacturers communicate environmental information in a way that remains accessible without becoming detached from its supporting evidence?
