‘Cease’ as a Reprimand

 

Having received widespread acclaim for the poignant intimacy and social commentary in her artistic practice, with ‘Cease’ Kamerić declares a political message of peace. Conceived as a tattered white flag at half-mast, ‘Cease’ is a gesture of reprimand beyond truce, parley, or surrender. The striking, distinctly still, monumental sculpture abruptly appearing in the Venetian sky requests an unequivocal commitment to vigorous life, a prevalent thematic expression within the artist’s legacy as a survivor of the Siege of Sarajevo.
