This land of mine

This Land of Mine unfolds as a personal inquiry into the notion of place—not simply as geography, but as inheritance, longing, and reconfiguration. For Andreea Chitan, the English landscape is both inhabited and resisted: a terrain she moves through as an immigrant, navigating the dissonance between the foreign and the familiar.

Reworking the family album as a conceptual and material device, Chitan carries fragments of home into this new landscape, attempting not to replicate belonging, but to forge it. These images do not seek to assert identity as fixed, but rather hold space for the in-between—for gestures of remembering and re-rooting.

Situated somewhere between document and apparition, the series maps a psychological terrain: the spectral contours of memory, the impossibility of return, and the tentative construction of home in a place that is not yet hers, but might be—through image, through presence, through repetition—made so.
