Ioana Palamar is interested in exploring her memories since her childhood period and their strong influence upon her adulthood period. According to Sigmund Freud’s theories, mental processes and motivations are outside of our awareness and during our development they are pushed into the unconsciousness. Ioana is using art as a therapy in order to bring into her consciousness specific wounds that strongly affected her in the past so that she can heal them and gain afterwards a certain level of balance. She is interested in revealing these aspects by representing a series of eyes, portraits, but also distorted facial features which are a metaphor of her moral structure that needs to be harmonized.
