At 9:57am on May 15, 2024, Zorica Obradović said…: Dear M. this is perfectionism.
It's unbelievable that it's a collage. Perfectly technical. About the artistic moment: you have created some incredible dynamics. My personal impression is that everything in the picture is moving, like a music video, an animated film.
thanks a lot.
