I also created a work inspired by Skopje, a city where an eclectic mix of styles and histories converge. Ottoman influences remain visible in its many mosques and in traditional tapestries with kelim patterns. At the same time, Skopje is marked by the bold Brutalist architecture of the Yugoslav era, standing alongside modern constructions and the recently imposed Baroque-style facades and statues, that were added in 2014 by a new right-wing government—despite North Macedonia never having experienced a Baroque period due to Ottoman rule at the time. While none of these architectural styles feel particularly organic on their own, the way they coexist—reflecting the city’s diverse communities of different religions and cultures—does. Here, harmony is found not in uniformity, but in coexistence, with tensions rooted more in politics (perhaps tangible in the black warp) than in daily social life.
