Leaves

Series of drawings inspired by the Japanese Beetle (Popilia japonica) and its impact on the leaf surface. While deconstructing a familiar form of a leaf it constructs a new image, revealing the inner structures and tiny patterns which compose it. One part of the project involves ink drawings on paper which focus on the processes of destruction, deconstruction and construction. Some of the works are made of drawings on layers of different paper, exploring the possibilities of leaf transformation. Other works are experiments made of pierced aluminium paper and interpret the inner leaf structures using three-dimensional form.

Wildlife Projects

Two projects dedicated to the impact of the mankind on wildlife. One of them has been made as an installation for the 16th Planet Earth Exhibition organized by the Applied Artists and Designers Association of Serbia (ULUPUDS), titled Illegal Wildlife trade. The installation consists of five paper cubes that represent a few species targeted by the illegal wildlife trade (Black leopard, Orangutan, Gila monster lizard, Indian star turtle and Alexandrine parakeet). The work is inspired by the means of transportation of valuable animal species which involves confined spaces and very bad conditions, due to which many of them do not survive. The other one focuses on the plastic contamination and its impact on marine species that mistakenly replace it for food. The species included in the project are a Green Turtle, Langoustine, Laysan Albatros, Puffin and Squid.
