GAMELIKE

GAMELIKE explores the LEGO brick as something far removed from the logic of rapid production and mass consumption. Instead, it is approached as a familiar object—an essential element of childhood imagination and play. Through the medium of printmaking, Mishe lends this seemingly ordinary subject an unexpected gravity, assembling it from countless scattered fragments. Across the surface, each individual element follows its own internal geometry rather than the boundaries of the sheet, occupying a precise position within a carefully orchestrated composition of apparent disorder.

In etching, the original exists as a matrix from which the inked impression is transferred onto paper. Play, on the other hand, has no original—only rules. It is in the act of following, testing, and reinventing those rules that genuine effort resides, and where moments of truth unexpectedly emerge, much like in play itself.

Lost

In the exhibition Lost, the exploration of personal memory—and memory itself—becomes even more direct. Printmaking proves to be a particularly fitting medium for this inquiry, as the very act of printing, together with the medium’s capacity for reproduction and dissemination, functions as a mechanism of remembrance.

Mishe begins by returning to a childhood memory of his family’s first car. Although he clearly remembers its make and model, almost every other detail has faded. This prompts him to reflect on other lost memories and to question whether some of them ever truly happened. The car becomes a symbol of memory itself—fragmentary, unstable, and elusive.

From this idea emerges a visual representation in the form of a car scrapyard: a place where lost memories resurface only to be erased completely, recycled, or transformed into something entirely different. Drawing on his own experiences and recollections, Mishe invites us to consider broader questions surrounding the tension between the objective and the subjective, and ultimately, the nature of what we perceive as real.

OUR CITY (2020)

A collective project realized as part of punkt.studio, with Mihaela serving as the lead designer and illustrator.

Pokoi / Stillness

“The title Stillness comes from a feeling I have carried within me for many years. The idea for this exhibition emerged long ago as a way to express the absence of Lake Ohrid from my everyday life. That place has always been a source of inner peace for me—the calm it offers and the silence emanating from the water itself are impossible to replace.

Over time, however, I began to feel that this sense of intimacy was slowly disappearing. Excessive human presence has been transforming the lake, and with it, the feeling of stillness has gradually faded. When you witness something so precious changing before your eyes, the need to respond comes naturally.

This exhibition is my response—an attempt to visualize that process, to reveal what is being lost, and to convey the feeling that remains. I hope visitors will not only see this issue, but truly feel it.”
