Genocid u Srebrenici 
Binasa Memić

Description: The abstract work Genocide in Srebrenica features white mezars—stylized Muslim tombstones—set against a green field. Through a simple color contrast of white and green, the piece pays tribute to the victims of the genocide, symbolizing the innocent lives brutally taken.

The abstraction evokes deep emotions of grief and remembrance, with the white tombstones highlighting the purity and innocence of those lost. With this painting, I aim to preserve the memory of the Genocide endured by my people, conveying a message of peace and the importance of collective remembrance.
