‘Mom turn of the light, this way I can’t see my dreams’

My work is an homage to the imagination of children. My childhood has been marked by violence. First the war in Serbia later the madness of my father. My fantasy world was often my only safe haven. Here I felt like I was invisible for the outside world. I explore my own experience and personal history in search for a universal image. In that image everybody can find her or his own meaning. This work shows both, the dreary gravity of my personal story and the hopeful escape thereof. By including my children in the process of this project, I was able to tell them my story in a pleasant manner. Together we have created a new world in which my past has got its own place.
