The photographs of Samir Delic look at different women’s characters, placing them one towards the other as contradictions, re-examining differences of their nature. The photographs re-examine a symbolic border between movement and illusory passivity, between the strength of a personality and shadow, or its reflection.
The woman in Delic’s photographs is also a strong individual, who separates herself from numerous unclear shadows, and also a woman’s shadow in hot asphalt or a shadow giving her hands towards a man’s silhouette, larger and stronger; and an uninterested passer-by for political happenings and everyday, and also the one who participates in peace protests or devotes herself for labour rights.
Sometimes, it is just a traditional veil with no face, sometimes a young face framed by the veil. In these photographs, there is also a Sanjak woman who speaks even when she is just the shadow or the reflection, who speaks with her traditional clothing and her permanent movement, and with her youth and when her face symbolically alludes to mother Earth, with her face burst by a drought.
