Ismet Jonuzi

My work represents the wounded soul of my homeland.

I use the very same weapons from the war in Kosovo to make my sculptures. I discovered them in the factory where they were collected to be destroyed. These weapons have been made useless, and in a way, I have given them new life. What better way to openly demonstrate the war is over."
