It's a Psychedelic World series of photographies are inspired by today's world and the system we live in. Blending with the crowd, losing one's identity, colored in seemingly bright colors; all of this hypothetically represents our wired-in world, our vibrant presence on the social networks and the energy of desperation in the society. We are jovial, tagged, busy with self-promotion, striving for what the system imposes upon us, without any notion as to how it affects us. We are engulfed by vast deprivation, not so much material as psychological which wreaks havoc. We've become focused on ourselves alone, solely on the sight before us. Living like that plunges us deep into the psychedelics of today.
She has exhibited at several groups and three solo exhibitions and has been credited for photography in over 30 theatre productions.
2015 she establishes a connection with the creative team of the Ensemble of National Dances of Serbia and becomes their official photographer, and starts exploring movement through the traditional dance.
Her numerous awards include:
2010 and 2013 – first prize for art photography at the Night of museums cultural event for documentary photography.
2011 – FIAP plate of Sterijino Pozorje for Theatre Photography.
2013 – She was awarded for art photography in Photographic Angle’s Competition FACES in Great Britain in the category of portrait.
2015 – first prize International Competition of Contemporary Photography Rovinj Photodays in the category of fashion.
2017 – First prize and festival Grand Prix Balkan Photo Awards 2016 in the category of everyday life.
She lives and works in Belgrade and Zagreb.
