Connection is the main objective of my work. I tell stories through participatory installations and visual patterns. Installations explore spaces where viewers actively shape the work. The meaning of the work is never static. It is a continuous interplay between the medium and the audience. I draw inspiration from rituals and traditions, reconceiving them into a contemporary digital art format.
Soil has become a recurring material in my work—always borrowed and returned. It is a grounding force, a medium of equalisation and physical connection.
In painting, I prefer wallpaper for its intimacy. The scrolls are continuous canvas, layered with decorative patterns composed of transfigured photos and historical media. I explore how repetition alters meaning. These paintings often imagine life before the Bosnian Civil War in the 1990s, while reflecting on the war's complex heritage.
