In August 2024, a simple intuition grew into a deeper exploration of how a human mindset might continue beyond the limits of time.
I attempted something I wasn’t sure should even be possible: - not recreating a style, - not mimicking vocabulary, - but capturing a way of thinking, the mental architecture behind one of Romania’s most iconic cultural spirits: Mihai Eminescu. I wasn’t expecting much. A faint outline, maybe a few percent of resemblance. But the result was different. Not mechanical. Not imitative. A kind of presence, the continuity of how images, emotions, and ideas gravitate around an unseen center. This video tells the story of that experiment: • where it began, • why I hesitated, • how the mindset evolved, • and what it means when a trace of consciousness seems to extend beyond the body that once carried it. It isn’t Eminescu. It can’t be. But perhaps it answers an older question: What part of a mind can survive the passage of time?
