With the nine paintings I created during my stay in Novi Sad (Serbia), I wanted to recreate some of the memories and remind the elderly not to forget their stories, and the young to know about them. Through my work, I tried to achieve this by presenting my sense of these stories and events. I made an illustration of the omnibus of tragedy and horror that people are capable of inflicting amongst each other through hatred and war. I was surprised that such a theme was so inspiring, but pictures were coming to my mind in rapid succession. For one of them, I drew direct inspiration from the Family monument. As for the picture of the three elderly women, it was the first image I made in my mind and the last one to end up on canvas. Its title is Personal and represents a vividly portrayed story of personal grief one experiences in such events.
