In this project, the artist turns to the Serbian village of Gardinovci as both a place of observation and presence. Temporarily living there during a photography residency, she approaches the village not as a local, yet not entirely as an outsider — more like a silent figure moving through the streets, attentive to overlooked details and moods.
The work is rooted in slowness and sensory perception. Using a digital camera with manual lenses, the artist embraces soft focus, shallow depth, and a tactile visual texture. This deliberate approach echoes her method: to photograph almost by touch, allowing intuition and atmosphere to guide the image rather than narrative or documentation.
Through close views of everyday objects, fading architecture, animals, and shifting light, the series becomes a visual meditation on rural time. It reflects on how layers of past and present coexist in speechless tension, offering a subjective portrait of a place where nothing seems urgent, yet everything feels present.
