I wove the widely circulated image of the two deceased lovers, Admira
Ismić and Boško Brkić, from the Siege of Sarajevo in 1993. They became
known as Sarajevo’s Romeo and Juliet.
This weaving is an exploration of how to work with an image. The slow
process and formation of the image and detailing of the landscape and
the deceased’s clothes gave me chills as I worked further on the image,
throw by throw.
The image is inverted on the backside. As a flag, its function decries
nationalism and war.
