This sculpture is made of walnut – tree, and it's protected and impregnated by flaxen oil. This sculptures shows the one part of what was happening in Bosnia 1992-1995. While watching the sculpture it's easy to notice that is created in two parts but it has one composition. One part of the sculpture has a spiritual character and the other part is about the destruction of spirit and persistence through different shapes. The base includes the underworld where the suffering is illustrated through these elements:
* One half of the lover part of woman's body with hands up, is symbol of international community.
*
The part of cranium, blazing tongues, tight hands, the grave with a monument and the big mouth are the illustration of torture and its aims. Prostitution of international community in B&H is presented in shape of the lover part of woman's body with sculptured legs and the other art ”hand's up” is photo of irony that happened of the enemy's aim of creating ”Large Serbia”, that is presented in symbol of ”great mouth”, in time of the formed regime where everything was subordinated to higher force.
The result of tortures, seen in shape of this sculptures, are shown in symbol of blazing tongues – burning homes, properties and human spirit. The result of tortures are numerous graves, because people died for belonging to different nationality and not accepting the enforced regime.
This is a part of illustration of what was happening, and other part – a symbol of spiritual persistence is arrised above this one; as is follows:
* Moslem priest with ”Kur'an”– as spiritual leader,
*
A woman with a baby in her arms,
* A flower above both segments
A spiritual persistence is the strongest weapon to win the brutalities and torture which serve to intimidate and destroy the man, and this is illustrader in the character of priest as a spiritual leader of the nation that suffered the most, the nation I belong to. The character of a woman with a baby in her arms is the continuation of spiritual belief that nothing can be destroyed if can be re-born, especially if there is love segment - symbolically shawn in the flower above two characters of this composition. This sculpture is my contribution to the truth for never be forgotten and seen again.
