She is a member of the Union of Associations of Visual Artists of Vojvodina (2022).
The concepts that underpin the artistic study presented in this exhibition are the alienation and cohesion of the individual and their position in various systems, and the reciprocal relationships that are formed within those systems.
Play is what defines the “Alternative Stories About Errors” and it has to do with how people interact with each other as well as with society in general. The gallery becomes a crucial bulwark for the social game. In this sense, the gallery functions as more than just a place; it also serves as a framework for the social order that relies on art, depends on it or simply ignores it.
