The Puzzle Piece Series reflects Bozic’s exploration of biodiversity as a vast, interdependent network in which every organism plays a vital role.
Using the shape of a puzzle segment as a compositional device, each painting highlights the intricate relationships that sustain ecosystems—from pollinators and plants to birds and mammals. Inspired by Bozic’s fieldwork and travels to ecologically rich regions such as the rainforests of Papua New Guinea, the cloud forests of Guatemala, and subtropical Southeast Asia, the series combines scientific observation with luminous, dreamlike compositions. These works act as windows into vibrant habitats, simultaneously celebrating their beauty and underscoring their fragility. Infused with personal narratives and moments of serendipity, the series becomes a meditation on interconnectedness and an appeal to preserve the extraordinary diversity of life.
