Artwork description

National Epitaph stages a crumbling monument to a nation’s unresolved traumas. Inspired by the recent riots in Serbia, represented in my own visaul language. The sculpture is fractured, overrun with indistinguishable organic matter and skull-like forms, swallowed by the very land it was built to glorify. This ruin does not commemorate glory, but instead mourns the cyclical violence and ideological decay that plague post-conflict societies. National Epitaph stages a crumbling monument to a nation’s unresolved traumas.

The work is a lamentation for a nation caught between past and present, a visual elegy for promises unfulfilled, for anger unheeded, and for a people too often reduced to rubble in the name of statehood. It speaks to the futility of idealized national identity when its foundation is cracked, and its figures no longer stand but fall under the weight of history.
