Split image of two Ememem mosaic street repairs: on the left, a broken concrete stair in Zagreb restored with orange, yellow, and white tiles while a person walks down; on the right, a long crack in a Belgrade street filled with decorative ceramic tiles featuring floral and geometric patterns, with pedestrians nearby.

In cities like Ankara, Lyon, and Belgrade, Ememem continues to repair cracks, potholes, and broken infrastructure—not with concrete, but with intricate mosaics. This new collection includes a fractured stairway reborn in Zagreb and a patterned burst around a manhole cover in Reims. Each work feels site-specific, shaped by the damage itself.
