The Lake

Sofia Milosevic’s artwork, titled The Lake explores her memories of childhood and family. The Miami senior is studying Psychology and English Literature, with a minor in Art Therapy, and attributes much of her inspiration to her hometown in Belgrade, Serbia. The lake in question, named Tresnja Lake, or “Cherry Lake” in English, holds many of Milosevic’s fondest childhood memories.

“Ultimately, I remember Tresnja as one of those sites that allows you to bond with your family and friends as a kid, while also allowing you to bond with the vibrant environment around you,” states Milosevic. “From my interaction with the nature here, I’ve learned a sincere respect and appreciation for our human and non-human life alike, and the need to protect our land.”
