Comment by Zorica Obradović on Saturday

The starting point of the work did come from 'popular psychology,' but it was guided by 'numerical analysis,' which is a scientific discipline of 'statistics.' Incidentally, the main character is taken from a flyer for—I don’t even know what it’s called in Serbian—you know, that car styling and tuning, detailing, and grooming stuff. By the way, the pedestal is a baby semolina box (just to point that out, since I’m often 'accused' of showing a certain animosity toward recycling)... I have a lot more to say, but I think my word count has already 'crossed the line' of polite conversation (which I don't practice anyway 😉).

I'm a little surprised. Actually, I'm quite surprised. I send you a 'mind map' about 'reading' into Gen X—specifically the segment when uniformity ruled. You reply to me with a Gen Z 'symbol,' or rather, one of the symbols they willingly use to 'uniform' themselves. I like the 'Twilight Zone' your blog/post just took me through

Honestly, I didn't start creating this with the intention of sending it to a specific person. I wanted to see if I could convey my expression from the 'propaganDaDa' cycle through an analog collage. When it was nearly finished, I wondered who could give me some 'off-the-cuff' feedback—and you were the first person who came to mind (because of your style of presentation and communication). Just another refutation of the theory of coincidence. You gave me a great direction for my research. Thank you.
