BIO

Born in 1996 in the city of Caracal, Romania, Lǎcrǎ explores the power of images to evoke both personal memories and a collective sense of belonging. She seeks to highlight the nuances of human behaviour through themes of identity, memory, suffering, trauma and feminism. As an emerging artist, Lăcră incorporates embroidery, collage and video into her practice to create multidimensional projects that invite deeper emotional engagement. In addition to studying Photography and Dynamic Image at the Bucharest National University of Arts, she has also made her mark in the international art scene with exhibitions in Italy, Greece, Japan, the UK and the US. Lǎcrǎ was recently selected as a Fresh Eyes Talent 2025 by GUP Magazine and will be presented at the 2025 Haute Photographie Fair in Rotterdam. She currently lives and works in Bucharest focusing on the complexities of contemporary human experience through a diverse range of media.
