Elans by Zlatko Ćosić

Abstract explorations of water and light.

Water and light as essential elements of life impact the human psyche. Individual streams of light reflecting upon water produce an energy flow structured in new dimensions. Illuminated realizations of the simplicity found in the frame and spaces in which daily life takes place evoke the impulse of life, élan vital.
