The view from above Mount Trebević, 1,627 meters above sea level, suspended in the clouds.
While the world celebrates the Olympics once again, I look back to Sarajevo 1984, a moment that shaped the city’s memory.
From my ongoing project on Sarajevo. #sarajevo #innersiege #filmphotography #kodakportra @konstantmeska thank you for the support!
A packet of cigarettes, handmade in its own packaging.
In the Balkans, smoking has long been a common habit, almost cultural.
I remember the hands.
Always holding one.
In Sarajevo, during the years of the siege, people learned to make life out of scraps.
Metal became heat, wood became a stove, jars preserved whatever comfort could be saved.
These objects, small and unassuming, are traces of hands that refused to give up.
A relic of the past, whose shadow still lingers, unfolding the history that made such inventions necessary.
