I found this wonderful doorway very evocative of the confident 1930s era of modernisation and industrialisation, especially in a country like Romania that had then an economy based primarily on traditional agriculture, with over 70% of the population living in ancestral rural areas. I am just enthralled by the its harmonious simple design, which although is presented in a grey colour, it still conveys with great effect the messages of the period. It is like a metaphoric doorway to a temple of progress, as the inter-war people imagined it. I also like the coloured glass that backs the door, which is very impressive when the light is on in the hallway during the evenings.

Interesting observation! That gave me food for thought and think that the ‘wings’ could also be the abstraction of a myriapoda crawling up on the door 🙂 or the ribs in a human rib cage -there are 12 pairs of this symbol laden body part- as an allusion of humans becoming robotic machines 🙂 etc.
