Why do you participate in Artists@Work? What do you expect from this experience?

I participate in Artists Work because I want to make a change to the world simply by using photos to express the problem and raise awareness to the people and encourage them to make a step to solve it. I expect firstly to get the needed knowledge for further implementations in photography. Secondly, I except a great communication and friendship between France, Italy and BiH. And lastly, and most importantly, I expect that my work will be recognized among people and help them realize that finally we all must fight for the better future.



Explain the main thematics of your project

The main thematics is definetly a youth regeneration in Balkan. Balkan suffered many losses during last wars, not only loss of hundreds of thousands great people that were forced to fight, not only the economic loss, but social loss as well. The great hate encountered after the war, dividing people from mostly these three countries in most horible ways. The ways where no good living person should be divided. I want to awaken the people of these countries to stop the ruining, and start building. Everything, from the beggining.



Explain the different stages of production of your work

In progress



Explain the choice of the title

The title is based on a youth organization that is formed in Balkan, and it is called YUP (Youth United in Peace, differently called YUPeace)

I put their organization name in this milestone title beacuse I want to raise the popularity of this organization that fights the most for the future of our young children and adults, so we could once more all live in peace and love.

I also put this title to raise the awareness of continuos unnecessary hate because of the war. Serbia, Coratia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are beautiful countries that are filled with astonishing people who want to live like they did before the war. To love, live and laugh.
