Šejla Kamerić also thematises the Siege of Sarajevo. Among the works dealing with her traumatic experience of those 44 months is 'Fragile Sense of Hope'. During the siege, the inhabitants of Sarajevo stuck packing tape across their windows to protect themselves from injury by glass shards, in case the windows shattered under the relentless shelling and sniper fire. The gold leaf in 'Fragile Sense of Hope', replicates the traces left by the glue of the packing tape, when it was finally removed at the end of the siege.
