M-am intors de la Praga de la Stanislav Libensky Award 2015

M-am intors de la Praga. In fiinta mea exista un motiv de bucurie dar si de tristete.
Bucurie pentru ca :
-  lucrarea "Fragile Identity?" a fost selectata pentru expozitia Stanilsav Libensky Award 2015
-  mi-e dor sa retraiesc in Praga in acel mix ademenitor de creativitate, bonomie si arta. Arta la tot pasul; pasesti pe istorie cand te plimbi pe Podul Carol. Imi umplu privirea si sufletul de frumos. De Praga ma leaga cel mai frumoasa simtire: in sederea anterioara am fost atat de impresionata de vestile surprinzator de bune si de frumusetea oamenilor, a faptelor, de sentimentul de bucurie care imi inunda sufletul deggustand atata arta incat, la un moment dat cand mi s-a propus o noua intamplare autentic de frumoasa am refuzat. De ce? Aveam atat de multa bucurie in fiinta mea incat aceasta imensa bucurie nu mai gasea calea inimii, era in toata fiinta mea intr-o miscare browniana care ma naucea de uimire. Sa fii uimit de bucurie, sa fii uimit de frumos ! A fost prima data in viata mea cand am trait un asemenea sentiment. Am cerut un moment de ragaz, pentru a putea ingloba si memoriza acea stare incredibil de placuta. Atunci ceva in interior, venit din nu stiu ce zari ale universului sufletului meu,  mi-a soptit ca voi reveni. Si vocea ratiunii intreba: "Oare?"
Anul acesta, fiind ocupata cu partea stiintifica ( asa, sa ma dau "intelectuala" ), nu am avut ragazul necesar de a creea ceea ce imi dorea sufletul. Cu o exceptie , "Fragile Identity". Aceasta lucrare a fost pretextul meu de a reveni la Praga.
- tristete- am revenit in tara. Nu pot folosi sintagma "acasa". Pentru mine, inca de cand am fost prima data la Praga, am simtit ca acolo este "acasa".

 Impreuna cu marea artista in arta gravurii sticlei Pavlina Cambalova si cu copiii mei Daria si David; m-am folosit de acest prilej pentru ca ei sa poata dobandi in sufletele lor inca o particica de inefabil, incarcata de acea bonomie, impregnata cu seriozitate (da, bonomie serioasa, asa imi pare mie) a artistilor cehi.
