My grandparents’ house has remained unoccupied since my grandmother’s death 10 years ago. Nothing was moved and the Romanian house became a museum of Teoderascu’s family memory. I visited the house in April 2019, in June I returned with my father and then with my two aunts. They hadn’t been there in the last 9 years. During my process, I discovered that the past of my grandparents might be changed or involuntarily romanticized and used to satisfy the present of the still-living ones.

He graduated with a master’s degree in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism from the University of Westminster, London, in September 2020.
