The basic preoccupation of Mejra Mujicic's artistic expression is the examination of materials and ambient. Her Favorite medium is paper, which she uses not only two-dimensionally, but also to enter into the ambient and to create three-dimensional forms. Sometimes she uses sound as another dimension that makes new dialogues possible and stresses the ambivalence of her unique vision. Her creative drive urges her to explore various spaces and possibilities of adaptation in them and with them. Using new materials in correlation with tradition is the main concept of her artistic preference.
