The Shape Of Emptiness – Jovana Kuzmanović

What does emptiness look like? What stories does it tell?

This collection explores the unseen structure of absence — where stillness speaks, and form emerges from the void. Through the lens of negative space, each vision invites the viewer to see not what is there, but what meaning it hides.

Space is here a reflection, a void, but not as a state of mind, but as a place for its release. If we narrow the frame, perhaps we enter deeper into the feelings, into the gaze, into the facial expression, into the current moment of the person. We meet the subject intimately, we “talk” face to face. But does that intimacy disappear when we let space enter or surround the edges of that encounter? Does the void destroy the illusion of conversation, or does it deepen the layering by placing the emphasis on something different? Melancholy? Loneliness? Wondering? The loss of a small man in a vastness full of poetic potential? The power of humanity before the sky that gradually conquers his surroundings, but never swallows him, never completely erases him? As always, it is not up to the artist to offer an explanation, but to ask questions. This collection is made as an attempt to unravel that wonder. Space as a danger or a connection with humanity? The answers are somewhere in that void…
