Points of Impasse
"Points of Impasse" is an ongoing project that explores the lasting impact of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It brings attention to the division and dysfunction in the country. The Dayton Peace Agreement established the Inter-Entity Boundary Line in 1995., which divided the nation, cementing ethnic divisions. The project seeks to highlight the absurdity of the created limbo state. Hand-sewing serves to make the invisible boundary clearly visible. It is also a powerful tool for trauma healing. As a manual and repetitive activity, sewing helps enter a state of mindfulness, which is beneficial for managing trauma symptoms.
