The initial spark for this project came from a moment of deep personal shock: the collapse of the canopy at Novi Sad railway station in November 2024, a tragedy that took the lives of 16 people. It wasn’t just another news story for me – it hit close to home, both literally and emotionally. Part of my family lives in Novi Sad, and being from Serbia myself, though currently living and studying in Switzerland, I felt a profound connection to the event. It was not only a structural collapse, but also a symbolic one – a collapse of public trust, of institutional responsibility, and of the safety that public space is supposed to guarantee.
