"A house from Climauti"
The artwork captures and preserves the image of a house, still inhabited, in the village of Climăuți, Edineț district, which shows significant signs of degradation. This suggests that in a few years, the house could either disappear entirely or have its unique and authentic appearance altered by modern construction technologies and contemporary living requirements. Such changes would strip it of its aesthetic value and erase the history embedded in its burnt brick walls.
This scenario is not unique to this house but applies to many others across the country, gradually eroding the cultural identity specific to these regions.
