Lethargy

Acrylic on canvas, 90 x 120cm. (print on canvas available)

I painted this series, which I also call Sleepy Sarajevo, soon after the widespread 2014 protests in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the confrontation on the streets between the authorities and people demanding an end to poverty and what they saw as political and financial corruption. I do wonder if I have a right to comment on events in Bosnia and Herzegovina given that I no longer live there full time, but I don’t think I am alone in my disappointment that the protests, especially in Sarajevo, came to an end before achieving what so many people had wanted.
