I looked in on you last night.
That point-five-second draft
of penguin’s breath
you thought was just
a gust outside the window
and the birdcall
you’d have sworn
was from a horse
were clues I left
because I was concerned
how you were doing.
If you don’t believe me,
check the unicorn’s hoof prints on the sill
before the wind kisses the evidence away.

Born in Bucharest, Romania, Mina spent her childhood in theatre, amongst preparing actors, dusty props and costumes, and most summers by the Black Sea, capturing the world with her plastic panoramic camera. Fascinated by movies and cinematography, she frames the world in overexposed imagery that reflects the luminosity of her vision. Since her move to NYC, she fell irreversibly in love with Coney Island, a subject that has been the center of her work for the past 3 years. She was a featured artist of the Greenpoint Gallery in Brooklyn and is a member of Norfolks NYC Art Collective. Her site is Minagraphy.com.
