For the @iclaimeu.bsky.social Netherlands exhibition in the Utrecht University Library, Tanasă has created a video work titled ‘Home. Delivered.’ which follows the delivery shift of an unnamed, masked character who carries a large boulder on their back around Utrecht.

Through usage of various masks and costumed characters, his practice deals with themes of migrant identity, belonging, masculinity and memory. All of his works draw upon personal experiences and events. His main mediums are video, performance and illustration.
