Mirjana's ongoing series Verses of Emptiness received international recognition, including prizes and nominations from The National Portrait Gallery (UK), Renaissance Portrait Prize (UK), Rabo Photographic Portrait Prize (NL) and LensCulture Portrait Award. Since then, she has expanded her practice to include landscape and conceptual photography as well as different media such as video and installation.
