"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 struggle to say each other's names, attempting to synchronize ourselves with the sound of our own voice. We make an attempt to cover up the mistakes of the past but repeatedly fail.
