Në Duart Tona
“Në Duart Tona” sjell në qendër të vëmendjes gratë kosovare që, gjatë valëve të emigrimit, mbajtën familjet e tyre të vetme në kushte të vështira. Ky projekt ndriçon historitë e tyre të forcës, rezistencës dhe përkushtimit, duke nderuar rolin e tyre të pazëvendësueshëm në shoqëri dhe në betejën për të drejtat e grave.

"Find Something You Love"
Paper Gallery and Prishtina Biennale, as part of the project “In Our Hands,” opened the exhibition “Find Something You Love, and Let It Kill You.”
Literature and painting have always inspired one another—many writings have been created based on themes taken from various paintings, and likewise, many paintings have been and continue to be created based on events from books by literary masters.
The renowned author Charles Bukowski was the one who inspired the artist to engage in illustrating or painting the life and work of the autobiographical author.

“Camera Isolata” is a project realized through a special grant for artists during the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic, provided by the Hamburgische Kulturstiftung. The motto of this grant is “Art Knows No Lockdown”, which supports projects that reflect an artist’s approach to a world under isolation in the year 2020.
The term “Camera Isolata”, of Latin origin, refers to a closed and isolated room—both in a literal and symbolic sense—representing a space of isolation.
