This work presents a larger-than-life presence: she strides effortlessly across the water. Her posture is light, open, relaxed, as if she has just let go of everything. On her head rests a crown, not as a sign of power, but as a symbol of self-empowerment. She is the queen of her own moment.
Her body almost dissolves into movement. The dress, a transformed Croatian flag, flows not only in the wind, but also seems to melt. Red, white, blue, and the checkerboard pattern become fabric, become motion, become identity in movement. Homeland is worn. Particularly captivating are the dreamlike details: a fish floats through the fabric of her dress, as if there were no boundary between sea and air. Nature here does not follow the rules of physics, but the rules of mood. Reality and dream merge.
Beneath her lies a deliberately simplified coastal landscape. Clear architectural forms, simplified house shapes, a suggested church, and two boats in the bay. Like a small vacation for the eyes, without any fuss, simply to enjoy.
