This series explores how textile-based visual narratives can process the emotional complexity of witnessing political resistance from a diasporic position. The artist reflects on the ongoing student-led protests in Serbia, her home country, from a physical distance, navigating feelings of helplessness, urgency, and longing through screens and social media. These works combine silkscreen prints with stitching, using repeated screenshots and fragments from personal archives such as diary entries.

The act of sewing becomes a way to process, to archive, and to engage with reality through touch. Thread functions as both a veil and a tool of repair, obscuring, revealing, and connecting. Though geographically removed, the artist remains emotionally entangled. Each panel evokes a different emotional state, echoing the shifting nature of her experience: some days the revolution feels vivid and alive; on others, it feels distant, fading, or already over.

Through repetition and materiality, the artist explores how personal memory and collective action intertwine, and how tactile gestures can hold space for political presence across distance.
