Blue butterfly in search of a plant, ink-jet print on postcard paper, 13x18 cm, 2020 

In the genocide of Serbian soldiers in Srebrenica on July 11, 1995 war criminals who want to hide their terrible massacres greens tens of kilometers away in accordance with the vegetation of the region and form mass graves that they want to hide. These graves are dug deeper than usual and covered in accordance with the vegetation of the environment. Metal parts left inside the grave so that the bodies cannot be found even magnetic variability scanning (satellite images, etc.) with metal parts is prevented. But as a result of the bodies feeding the soil, the formation of flowers named Artemis (Artemisia Vulgaris) in areas with mass graves after some time. The blue butterflies (Polyommatus Icarus), which feed only on this plant with the proliferation of flowers, are now beginning to spread. After this situation draws attention and spreads to the press, researches begin in the region and more than 300 mass graves are found by following the blue butterflies.

It was a driving force in my production both that the world has closed its eyes to this recent history massacre and have not been able to find any clear archives of butterflies while accessing a lot of information on the massacre.

Postcards have a high potential to communicate, serving as platforms for spreading a situation, person, and / or something among the media. A very decorative visual that makes you think on the front, ask a question and behind it are special and sincere thoughts that sending to the four corners of the world. The cards that I have painted and then digitally designed can be taken by viewers in this way while the audience has a "work of art" chosen by the artist also a new relationship begins between sender, receiver, artist and blue butterflies at the process.
