"This photograph masterfully deploys light and shadow to suggest the trauma that results in the aftermath of armed conflict. Its careful composition brings attention to a building's façade, darkened in shadow but with several suggestive, open, light-filled windows, and a figure that surveys a landscape of debris. After the war, this is an image that suggests both the futility of attempting to rebuild one's life and the ever-present possibility that life must persist."

Tamara Platiša and I continuously repeat the phrase “I am no longer a victim”, attempting to say it 200,000+ times simultaneously while connected through a Skype audio call. The performance was a reaction to current political events in Croatia and Serbia while questioning the role of collective identity in Platiša's and my personal histories.
