Dragica, Danica, Duška / or / when Zora, the goddess of Dawn, opens the gates of Heaven for Sun to emerge
SYNOPSIS
SINOPSE
Danica, Dragica, Duška revolves around Zora, the Slavic goddess of dawn who embodies both singular and plural identities. She either appears as one figure or as a triad of sisters representing sunrise, noon, and sunset— the past, present, and future. Together, they are guardians of time. The three grandmothers of the artist give their title to the work. The goddess is said to dwell in the Palace of the Sun, reigning over the cosmos. In moments of battle, she is believed to lower her veil, shielding favored warriors from harm. The work positions Zora as a central figure, presiding over women contemporary warriors and their daily lives.
