Prayer For Lost Objects

The piece entitled "Prayer For Lost Objects " that I used to present my work as part of the international project "Floating Gravities", situated in the area of the Smederevo Fortress, was created by joining sheets of metal in the shape of an obelisk.

The obelisk is a symbol of the Sun, and resembles the historical cult of the raised stone on which the Sun "rests" upon sunset, personifying the upright prayer book that connects heaven and earth.

Following the framework of my typical work through form, the metal plates are joined into a recognizable sculptural figure, which is then left to the course of time to further develop in its evolving, dynamic and variable existence.

The poetics of the work is based on the fact that the processual degradation of the material oscillates minimally, but that the product is subsequently challenged through different ambient conditions in which the sculpture is positioned.
