“The exhibition signed by artist Alexandra Mureșan follows the path of a long creative journey, marked at every stage by an event, philosophical contemplations which occurred on different occasions through her life and have had a strong impact on her work, concerning the value of significance. The idea of time passing demonstrates that which as a validity of existence the object of art remains in its substance. Alexandra Mureșan submits for analysis her own existence in the process of embodiment of forms, forms which are brought into existence through converting glass into installations presented as multiple varieties of compositional densities. Her work bears through direct confrontations with this fragile material, which becomes rather a metaphor, then an object in itself, under the impact of mechanical and thermic strength. The artist questions the power of rejuvenation pertaining to time and – implicitly – rejuvenation of its creating energies through the re-assessment of a material which surpasses functional potential and pure decorative value and thus immortalizes states and emotions evolving in the present. These experiences fall into the category of representations resulting from the recounting of events „consummated” and filtered through an affective registry (...).” (Olimpia Bera)
