Vida Meić - Strukture mrlja / Stain structures

Description

“Can one really see the world in a grain of sand, as William Blake said? Vida Meić certainly discovered the world in a grain of sand but in chance structures. If we look through her graduation work stains Atlas, which resulted in an exhibition and this, in turn, led to the MSU award at the 34th Youth Salon, we will see that one of the first illustrations is  a photograph of a stain on a pedestrian crossing.” Leila Topić
