Cultures are based on storytelling. Sharing thoughts keeps them alive, and with them, also lives the storyteller. My literature teacher told me that "poveste" (story in Romanian) is composed of: "po" - corporeal soul in Taoism, and "veste" - news. This accentuates the necessity of the soul when narrating. Joy can only be felt when shared and storytelling assures this can happen.
A concept related to telling stories is the Akashic records, containing past, present and future happenings. I pictured it as a fluid mass of ideas (represented by the Lapis lazuli), that we interact with. Our limited understanding (cube) conditions us to perceive ideas in an impure form, so what we understand are projections of ideals (golden granules). Not having the absolute knowledge brings joy as we get to hope, discover, heal and share stories with all the humane aspects.

"POveste" - ring

The universe itself is seen as a weave or a web. It is a constant process of creation and recreation, and so is weaving.

Weaving, along with working the fields were common activities that people would do, both being symbols of creation. "In fieri" represents the thin line between being made and becoming. It's about those special moments when everything organizes in that form, and no any other way.

It's about coincidences, unexpected moments, familiarity, feelings, places, time and everything in between that the universe is made of.

"Razboi de tesut" is the romanian translation for "Weaving loom". At the same time, the word "Razboi" also means "war". This can be seen as a metaphor for the sometimes chaotic process of creation, in which many factors interact and intertwine.
