  Border By Memory is an image of my attempt to draw the line of the border between Bulgaria and Romania by memory. The drawing and respectively the neon are very approximate and not correct picture of that border. Every mistake of my hand was “loss to” or “enlarge” this or that of both countries. The title itself is a clue for understanding the work and its references to the memory and history of that border and its dramatic transformation during last century, affecting many lives from both sides.

• Untitled, 2020 drawing
  29.5 х 21 cm
  From the series Quarantine, started March 2020 "If we want life back to the way we liked it, do we have to rethink the values with which we created it?" P.I, 31.03. 2020, Sofia
• A dream I had on March 24th 2020 drawing 29.5 х 21 cm From the series Quarantine, started March 2020   24.03.2020 By 3 in the afternoon I fill dizzy and went to bed. I dreamed that people could see into the future by wearing a simple medical mask put on eyes. I saw a lot of people around me doing it. I moved my mask from the mouth to my eyes and saw how some compelling, invisible force drives the right-handers had to do everything with the left hand and vice versa, the left-handers had to do everything with the right hand. The world was the same, but much more awkwardly made. I couldn’t understand why everything had the same yellow-reddish color. At first, I decided that everything was made of copper, but then I looked as if things were smeared with iodine. David woke me up by running into bedroom shouting - Dad, we’re making a movie with Mom. / Pravdoliub Ivanov
