This series of photographs was created in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a document of a time that stands still, yet is slowly disappearing. Through landscape scenes, the work captures the quiet decay of a place. The crossed-out figure of a politician on a billboard symbolizes faded promises and a loss of trust. The erased face becomes universal, interchangeable, as empty as the messages left behind. In contrast, flooded sports fields serve as a reminder of the system’s inadequate response. Cracked and neglected spaces evoke traces of war that have never been fully repaired. Houses that remain unreconstructed and infrastructure that leads nowhere testify to a break in the continuity of life. These voids also reflect contemporary migration: the departure of the population, especially the young, who rarely return. Here, nature and humans share the same burden of neglect: rivers, air, and land all bear the consequences of prolonged indifference.
