<br><p class="MsoNormal">Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I moved to America with my family in 1997 after the Bosnian war and grew up in Bowling Green, KY, where I stayed and earned by <span class="agtext">BA in photojournalism at Western Kentucky University.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="agtext">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="agtext">After college, I began exploring the stories of some of the 6000 other Bosnian refugees living in Bowling Green. Just when I thought that the Bosnian war was becoming our past, I met the women who are still affected by it. They still wait for their loved ones to be found and identified from the many mass graves that still exist in Bosnia. Fueled by their desire to seek closure and my interest in helping them communicate their stories, I decided to return to my native Bosnia in 2010 to photograph the lingering effects of war – mass graves and the search for closure.</span><br> <br> <span class="agtext">This July 11, 2011, I will have my second solo exhibition when my work will be exhibited in the US Congress Building for the 16th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. I have opportunities to exhibit my project in other places in the US, Canada and Bosnia, and am seeking funding to help make this opportunity a reality.</span></p>
