Echoes of the Unspoken 
Ana Šesto & Tea Plepelić 

Description: "Echoes of the Unspoken" explores the enduring impact of the Yugoslav conflicts on memory and the pursuit of justice. Through five distinct images, the series captures the fragmentation, isolation, and lingering trauma experienced by individuals and communities.

​Inspired by personal testimonies, the work uses symbolic imagery—scarred architecture, poignant lyrics, isolated figures, and juxtaposed elements—to evoke the unspoken emotional landscape of war's aftermath. The series aims to foster dialogue and reflection on the complex legacy of conflict and the importance of preserving memory in the pursuit of reconciliation.
