Garden of emotions and The Dreamers

This work contains two independent reliefs that were later connected into one part and placed in a wooden frame. Part 1: The legend claims that before emotions were creatures and they had their bodies, God decided to make a man and then he collects them and makes from their bodies to put them in the human soul. I have shown them like they have bodies again and I picked some of them to create more poetical piece which will remind to combination of antique and modern mythology. So , I used as inspiration : greed, jealousy, shame, love, madness, fear, hatred, desire, wisdom and pleasure. Part 2: I was inspired with true Montenegrin story about “Three Sisters ( Tri Sorele)” . They were waiting for the whole life their husbands, sailors, to return from the ocean, but they never returned and after years and years of hope and dreams they died with faith and same desire in silence. Sad a?? So we can see a girl in the embrace of her beloved with a hand extended to the observer, a girl who is hugging the to, while the imagination becomes a mother and a sleeping girl between them. The male figure with the dog’s head represents their strength and will of their dreams.
