I've been writing for as long as I can remember, though I don’t remember when the language of my thoughts and my writing became English—the transition was organic and natural. I was born in Belgrade, Serbia to a Czech mother and a Serbian father, and later moved around, living in the US and Prague for a while, before anchoring myself in the UK. The first place I felt truly settled and at home (which in many ways it still is) was in London, though since 2007 I've been based in Berlin. All of the places that I've lived in, together with my family background, play an important role in what I see as my fluid identity. All the languages that I speak have an impact on my thinking, and consequently my writing. What I mostly write about is the human condition and things that I observe around me, just the same as the photographs that I take are trying to capture the beauty of the ordinary.
