Independence Day documents a personal homecoming set against the collective milestone of Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence. Captured on the specific hours of the state's founding February 17, the series maps the social landscape of a nation in transition.
By deconstructing the hierarchy between the institutional and the individual, the work places the faces of the street in direct dialogue with the country’s cultural and political leadership—from artists and journalists to prime ministers. The project serves as both an intimate record of return and a public study of a young country defining its identity from the inside out.
