In the continuation of the virtual exhibition, the Faculty of Fine Arts presented two more young artists from the undergraduate studies, Ognjen Vujović and Anđela Došljak.

Vujović is a painting student and presented himself with a series of drawings called "Distortion". In their drawings, they show the distortion of the human body and spirit, and they were inspired by Andre Kertesz's photographs of the same name, the artist revealed.

Došljak, also a student majoring in painting, presented her work that "creates a transparent plexiglass cube in which an 'infected' person would be found", she explained...

"In this case it was me, because the artist himself can best show what he wants to talk about. "The cube is small, measuring one square meter (1m x 1m) and is placed in a public space," she said.

Her idea for this work stemmed from the current health situation and society's responsibility towards others. The idea is reflected in the transparent walls of the cube, which visibly divide the "infected" person from society, but also show the connections that person has.

"The idea of ​​transparency came not only to cause a reaction in people when they see someone closed in a transparent cube sitting in their pajamas or some everyday home combination, but also to give that person the opportunity to observe their surroundings just like everyone else. Also, she sends a clear message to other people without a single spoken word: to be careful not to end up like that, separated from civilization. The very fact that someone is imprisoned should arouse a certain amount of chills in us, as well as the virus itself, which is increasingly gaining momentum and sweeping the world, taking lives," said the artist about her work.
