CONCRETE CLOUDS
A changeable transparent dream, oxymoronic city is changing its vesture, being demolished and built again. Fluidity is made out of concrete. Favela is on the other side, gypsies gather their iron treasure every day, like ants, eating my city away, like clouds in the sky.

‘‘Ljigavac‘‘ (eng. ‘‘Slime‘‘) is an experiment realized by dehydratation of a slime which acquires random, organic, coral like forms. Looking to the patterns and rythms in nature, and searching for colour formations gives it an ever-changing qualitiy of physical transformation. Capturing the moment of liquidity by stabilizing slime pieces into a solid form. The intention is to make an object which in its appearance balances between looking as if being naturally formed oppposed to being made by hand.

Intuitive scribbles occur under a large emotional charge. As they slowly emerge to the surface, they form into transparent areas of the mainland, completely alienated from each other. Looking from above, the farthest possible view accessible to the human eye. Beneath them lies a reflective surface. You have to move away to see the whole, and the excess will fall off on its own. The deepest thing is just a reflection that is repeated countless times in a slightly changed form, but the essence is always the same. When there is light, the depth shines the most. Then it comes to the surface of our consciousness in seemingly organic forms.
Exploring the change of a living, once subject to decay, which, by the action of natural forces, instead of turning into dust, acquires a new eternal shape of stone and continues its growth upwards. Its foundation, black basalt, was taken from the walls of an ancient Middle Eastern city that has withstood many generations of invaders for thousands of years. Gaining a new context, this stone connects nature and civilization.
