I am 25 years old and I live in Bucharest, Romania. I work as an editor in chief at a publishing house. I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Sociology and Social Work, where I also got my Bachelor's and Master's degrees. I have brown eyes, curly hair and I like scarves. I love people, good stories and beautiful places.

I took part in Expression Days to show that from any wound or any pain, you can create art. That we are art. Not just a fraction of us. I think that art has the power to heal, to change and to transform lives.

The process of living with an autoimmune disease is difficult. It becomes part of you. My painting is a desperate, helpless scream. Sometimes I scream because I can't change the past, sometimes I scream because it hurts, sometimes I scream because I miss someone, and sometimes I scream because I love. It's not the fact that I have psoriasis, it's about having to deal with it all my life. It's a part of me now and I know it will get better, and sometimes it will get worse, but it's always there. The only thing I can do is learn to live with it.
