In this Cyrillic lettering illustration in the Serbian language, the second letter becomes "pregnant" with an image of the unborn child.
Using a large-format hole-punch and sheet adhesive, I recycled old magazines to create these wall graphcs. Try this at home!
My submission to this Baltimore city-wide public project depicted the urban "conversation forrest," with languages and intonations growing and subsiding with each passing day.
A tight hallway in my home becomes a "passage through life" with a large-scale cyrillic type treatment featuring "zivot," the Serbian word for "life". With its exaggerated perspective, this work makes the obligatory nod to Russian Constructivism.
Artistic collaborators:
Nancy Froehlich, Nadra Moritz and Azin Valy.

This exhibition premiered at KC Grad—European Center for Culture and Debate, in Belgrade, Serbia, and was also shown at Oregon State University, Corvallis and MICA in Baltimore.
These works explore the relationship between the painter and her subject, either through in-person sittings or working from photos.
Watercolor on paper, 9 x 12 inches.
The exhibition was held at KC Grad, and later also at Design Week Novi Sad, the 2022 Cultural Capital of Europe. Proceeds from the sale of the prints went to benefit the victims of the war.
