This early June, I was fortunate to travel to Serbia and paint a mural with @dukfestival. It’s my biggest mural yet. We struggled with the sun as our wall faced it all day with no shade. I didn’t expect Serbia to be so hot, but everything went well, and we finished our wall on time.
I had no expectations coming to Serbia and was pleasantly surprised by how nice and heartwarming the experience was. Friends from DUK were amazing in organising the festival, ensuring we were well taken care of and had everything we needed for the mural.
It was a memorable experience. We made many new friends, saw beautiful sights, and learned about a new culture. I can’t wait to return to Cacak and visit everyone again. Thank you for the experience—it was a lovely trip for early summer.

“Each One Braid One”
This mural is a tribute to my moments with my mother when I was in school. She braided my hair every day, and during that time, she would tell me how my day at school would be and give me advice on how to handle things. My parents are both knitting artists, and I grew up in a knitting factory. I would often join my mother at work since my school was only five minutes away. She managed to work and take care of me at the same time. Now that I travel often and don’t see her as much, this memory is especially precious to me, and I want to cherish it.
We all have strong memories with our loved ones that shape who we are. These moments, whether big or small, hold a special place in our hearts. For me, the simple act of my mother braiding my hair each day was filled with love, wisdom, and connection. It reminds us of the importance of family and the bonds that remain strong no matter where life takes us. This mural is not just a reflection of my personal story but a celebration of those cherished memories we all hold dear 🌸
