Artwork Description:
I enjoy and suffer when I am walking on the beach watching and collected all those pieces spitted from the sea and after when I create something of it. Picking up those pieces I just can imagine who throw it away and also in which situations. Playing with and observing that things between my fingers I have realized that it is a clean garbage. It was hardly washed in a sea tumbled numerous times. On the land it has been bakened under the sun for days, months or years. Those processes change their origin shapes and colours. Disasembled and ruined now they got a new look. Mounted in forms of ships and with a new purpouse they begin to live their new life. This is an evidence about garbage, waste and sea polution. As symbolic example of recycling this is also a reminiscent to it and call to act. Why ships? It is man's first connection with the sea. Only by a boat or a ship the man is able to explore, to feel and know the sea. Parts of the ships are collected on just one small beach on the island I in Nort Dalmatia. Pieces were not particulary designed or treated in any ways. The ships are named in old fashioned way which is very common in Dalmatia - there are descriptive adjectives for special shape, colour, manner etc.
